Compatibility Notice

Model, production date, serial number, connector, dimensions, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the original component and reference information before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a dirty air filter damage the turbo? A: Yes. Restriction increases compressor stress and a damaged filter can allow debris into the wheel.
Q: Should the oil feed line be reused? A: Only if the service procedure allows it and the line is proven clean, unrestricted, and undamaged.
Q: How do I confirm this is the correct part? A: Match every reference, engine serial number, flange and housing orientation, oil ports, wheel sizes, actuator, and inlet/outlet diameters.
Q: Is this supplied by the original equipment manufacturer? A: No. This is a new aftermarket item. Brand, model, and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
