This product line focuses on delivering components that maintain engine efficiency and comply with emission regulations.
Detailed Product Description
This remanufactured turbocharger features a journal bearing type, which supports smooth shaft rotation and durability under high operating temperatures. The unit is cooled by oil, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures and extend service life. The turbocharger is constructed from steel and aluminum materials, balancing strength and weight. Included in the package are the turbocharger itself, a gasket for proper sealing, a syringe for lubrication during installation, and an instruction sheet to assist with setup. The wastegate actuator is integrated to regulate boost pressure effectively.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Restores engine power loss caused by worn or failing turbochargers
- Replaces units damaged by foreign object ingestion or oil starvation
- Addresses turbocharger failures related to excessive axial end play or shaft wear
- Helps resolve issues from worn engines with excessive crankcase pressure
- Improves performance in Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, and Jetta models experiencing turbocharger-related problems
Installation Notes and Tips
- Ensure the engine oil is replaced at regular intervals to prevent oil starvation
- Allow the engine to cool before shutting down to protect the turbocharger

| Troubleshooting Tip | A decrease in engine power may be your first indication your turbocharger is damaged or has failed. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Any nicks, scratches, or chips on either wheel are evidence foreign object damage caused by contaminants entering the airflow to or from the engine. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Axial end play of the wheels and shaft in and out greater than the thickness of a sheet of paper indicates a worn thrust bearing due to excessive exhaust backpressure. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Before a failed turbocharger is replaced the original cause of failure must be diagnosed and corrected to protect the new installation. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Common signs of wear indicating replacement may be required: |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Worn engines with excessive blow by will result in crankcase pressurization, leading to oil leaking from the turbochargers internal seals. This may result in oil deposits in the intake manifold or smoke in the exhaust. This is not necessarily a sign of a failed turbocharger, but rather a sign that the engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced. |
