Important - Oil Feed Pipe Renewal. For a vast range of applications, Driven 2 Automotive supplies. Oil feed pipes, oil return pipes and oil strainers. For good workshop practice and the longevity of your precious new turbo, we wholeheartedly recommend replacing all of these parts at the same time.
Clogged up or damaged oil pipes may possibly be the reason the turbo failed in the first place, and with oil starvation as the number one cause for turbo failures worldwide, it really shouldn't be ignored. Some applications are particularly prone to blockages in the turbo oil feed pipe due to their poor design, eventually this can lead to potentially terminal damage.To reduce this risk, we recommend you fit a new oil feed pipe kit when replacing the turbo. Where available, the part numbers for the required parts will appear in the item specifics section above the description. If they're not shown in the item specifics section this is usually because they're special order parts. If there's a compatibility chart added to this listing above the description, please use it as a guide only and verify fitment by contacting us with your vehicle's registration number (UK Customers) and vehicle details for EU and Worldwide customers.
Warning - The Huge Risk of Counterfeit and Aftermarket'Copy' Turbochargers. When it's time to replace your car's turbocharger, don't take risks. When your turbocharger is spinning at 300,000 rpm, and operating up to 1050 degrees Celsius. The same isn't good enough. Copy Concerns Some copy turbos fail literally within hours of installation - and the effects can be catastrophic. While bearing problems are most commonplace, the bolts joining the turbine housing to the center housing are also known to'relax', leading to gas leakage, mechanical damage and oil leakage that can in-turn contaminate the catalytic converter or the DPF system causing failure to these expensive parts also. Counterfeit and Copy Turbocharger Problems Include. Major conflict with the engine management system. Too low air flow/pressure, c. Ausing poor throttle response, poor overall performance and increased emissions.Causing excessively high temperatures, damaging both the turbo and the engine. Levels leading to the over-speeding of the turbo - Results in the compressor wheels bursting and damaging the turbo/engine. Compatibility is never 100% guaranteed.
Poor quality materials results in a far shorter lifespan. Fitment isn't guaranteed - Mounting holes and gaskets. Can be misaligned, causing potential air and oil leaks as well as poor quality studs/bolts'relaxing' from heat cycles. OE testing standards are never met, research videos online actually show counterfeit turbos exploding off secured test bench equipment.
Upon complete failure, they're not designed to keep the internals within the housing, causing damage to other engine parts. Hidden costs and misleading price due to their shorter lifespan. Recent product analysis undertaken by Garrett - Advancing Motion, comparing original quality Garrett turbos with remanufactured VNTT turbos using non-original components and copy turbos, shows that its market-leading Garrett turbos deliver significantly better whole-life value than lower-cost non-genuine alternatives when taking into account reliability, performance, fuel efficiency and longevity. 100% compatibility with the ECU.
