MAKE SURE YOU ORDER THE RIGHT PRODUCTS

Use your vehicle details or your turbo’s ID plate to ensure a fully compatible order

To ensure you order the correct and fully compatible turbocharger or spare part for your vehicle, it’s crucial to accurately identify your existing turbo. There are two ways to do this:

  1. Using your vehicle’s basic details — make, model, engine, power, and year.
  2. Searching by the turbo number from the identification plate on your current unit, for 100% accuracy.

Both methods are available in our webshop page, and this guide will help you locate your turbo number so you can confidently select the right product.
