Restore Factory Boost Performance
A worn turbocharger can reduce engine performance and create symptoms that gradually become harder to ignore. Common warning signs include:
- Reduced acceleration
- Slow or inconsistent boost response
- Excessive exhaust smoke
- Turbocharger whining or grinding
- Engine oil entering the intake system
- Increased oil consumption
- Underboost diagnostic trouble codes
- Check-engine warning light
- Oil or exhaust leaks around the turbocharger
Replacing a damaged turbocharger can help restore the engine’s original boost response and everyday drivability. However, turbocharger failure is frequently caused by another problem, such as restricted oil flow, contaminated oil, damaged oil lines or an intake leak. Replacing the turbo without correcting the original cause is an excellent way to purchase the same part twice.

Superseded Ford numbers and engineering numbers may vary by production date. Match the original turbocharger number, engine, VIN and connector arrangement before ordering.
Turbocharger and Gasket Kit
The included gaskets help create secure seals at the turbocharger’s mounting surfaces. Proper sealing is essential because exhaust, intake, oil or coolant leakage can reduce performance and shorten the new turbocharger’s service life.
Depending on the exact package configuration, additional hardware, oil lines, coolant lines or seals may still be required. Compare the package contents with the current manufacturer listing before beginning installation.
Installation Recommendations
Professional installation is strongly recommended. The turbocharger operates at extremely high speeds and temperatures, leaving little tolerance for contaminated oil, blocked passages or improvised installation methods.
Before installing the replacement turbocharger:
- Determine why the original turbocharger failed
- Change the engine oil and oil filter
- Inspect or replace the turbocharger oil-feed line
- Inspect the oil-return line for restrictions
- Check coolant lines and connections
- Clean the intake and charge-air piping
- Inspect the intercooler for accumulated oil
- Replace damaged intake or exhaust seals
- Check the air filter and intake tract
- Verify that no foreign material remains in the system
Prime the turbocharger with the manufacturer-approved engine oil before the initial start. Cranking or starting a dry turbocharger can damage its bearings before the engine has even settled into an idle—which is impressively efficient, but not in a good way.

- Original turbocharger number
- Wastegate actuator style
- Oil and coolant connections
- Intake and exhaust flange configuration
- Vehicle production date
For VIN information, use the official NHTSA VIN Decoder and compare the original component directly.
