BorgWarner Turbocharger 2008 Audi VW CR170 KO3 Replacement

This BorgWarner turbocharger is built with a durable cast iron turbine housing, designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures common in turbocharged engines. It's a direct replacement for the factory KO3 turbo found on 2008 Audi and Volkswagen CR170 models, aiming to restore lost performance and responsiveness. When a turbocharger fails, you might notice a significant loss of power, increased exhaust smoke, or unusual noises from the engine bay. This unit is engineered to meet the original specifications, ensuring a proper fit and function.

BorgWarner is a well-known name in the turbocharger industry, and this replacement unit reflects their commitment to reliable performance. It features a balanced rotating assembly right out of the box, which is crucial for smooth operation and longevity. Proper balancing helps prevent excessive vibration, which can lead to premature wear on bearings and seals. The compressor wheel is designed for efficient airflow, helping to increase the amount of air forced into the engine, which in turn allows for more fuel to be burned and thus more power to be produced. This turbocharger is intended to bring your vehicle's performance back to its original factory level.

When installing a replacement turbocharger, it's important to ensure the oil supply and return lines are clean and free of debris. Any contaminants in the oil can quickly damage the new turbo's bearings. It's also a good practice to pre-lube the turbo before initial startup. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the most accurate guidance on fitting this turbocharger to your 2008 Audi or VW CR170. This part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
