VW Turbocharger Kit - Genuine VW KIT-02718

This kit includes all necessary parts, gaskets, hardware, and fluids needed for a complete turbocharger replacement.

Turbochargers are commonly used on many modern cars as they allow smaller displacement engines to make the same power as higher displacement engines. In addition, turbocharged engines tend to be more fuel efficient relative to the power that they output. Turbochargers are relatively simple mechanical devices. They use exhaust gas to pressurize the intake air. With more air volume entering the engine it is possible to add more fuel which in turn allows for more power as well as efficiency.

Turbochargers are generally cooled by engine coolant and lubricated by engine oil. So it's not uncommon to see two feed lines going to the turbocharger and two return lines coming from the turbo. Over time turbochargers like all parts wear out. Smoke coming out of the exhaust can indicate that seals in the turbo have gone bad and oil is entering the exhaust. Really worn turbos also don't build boost effectively. If you suspect your turbocharger is worn or on its way top catastrophic failure it is advised to replace it before further engine damage can occur.

Turbocharger Failure Symptoms

• Oil leaks
• Smoking exhaust
• Low boost pressure
• Limp model
• High oil consumption
• Play in turbine shaft due to worn bearing to avoid this and to take care of your entire lubrication system we recommend periodically performing an engine flush.

We have partnered with Liqui Moly to create industry leading engine maintenance kits which can be found HERE

Or you can simply buy the flush itself HERE

We strongly suggest you treat your engine and turbo with an oil additive such as CERATEC which not only reduces friction but will give the engine the ability to run for some time even after oil pressure is lost. You can find CERATEC HERE
