Turbo brands and car makes

Almost every modern engine – diesel or petrol – is turbocharged. We work on turbos from all the big manufacturers and on the cars they’re fitted to.

Turbocharger manufacturers

Garrett Motion (Honeywell)

One of the largest manufacturers in the world. GT, GTA, GTB and the newer G-series variable geometry (VNT) turbos are found on VW, Audi, Ford, Renault, Peugeot, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and many more – often with Hella or Garrett electronic actuators.

BorgWarner (KKK, Schwitzer)

Successor to Germany’s KKK. K03, K04, BV39, BV43, KP35, KP39 turbos and R2S two-stage systems are widely used by VAG, BMW, Opel, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai/Kia.

BMTS (Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems)

Turbos for VW, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Porsche engines, including modern variable geometry versions with electronic control.

How to find your turbo’s part number

Every turbo has a metal plate or an engraved marking on its housing with the manufacturer’s number (for example Garrett 753420-5005S, BorgWarner 5439-970-0071, IHI VV14) and the car maker’s number (for example 03L253016T).

If you can’t see it, no problem – from the VIN, make, model and engine code (for example 2.0 TDI CFFB, 1.6 HDi 9HZ, 320d N47) we can identify which turbo is fitted and which parts are needed.
