How to choose

Selecting the right turbo for your 1.7 TD engine depends on several factors, including vehicle model, engine code, and intended use, whether for daily driving or performance tuning.

1. Verify the engine code and model year of your vehicle to ensure the turbo’s compatibility with your specific 1.7 TD configuration and power output.
2. Check the turbo’s geometry type—fixed or variable—since this affects performance and emissions compliance in your engine’s original setup.
3. Confirm the turbo’s core size and inlet/outlet dimensions to match the existing exhaust and intake system without modifications.
4. Prioritize turbos with a proven track record in your vehicle’s model range, as this reduces the risk of fitment issues or premature failure.
5. For performance applications, consider a remanufactured turbo with upgraded internals, though this requires careful matching to your engine’s tuning level.
6. Ensure the turbo includes all necessary mounting hardware and gaskets, as missing components can delay installation and increase costs.
7. Review the turbo’s warranty terms, which typically cover defects but not installation or misuse, to understand your protection as the end user.

Storage & logistics

Exchange standard turbos must be stored in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent moisture damage to the core or internal components. For garages and distributors, we recommend using sealed containers or desiccant packs to maintain air quality around the units, especially in regions with high humidity. Avoid stacking turbos directly on top of each other to prevent deformation of the housings or damage to the cartridge, and always handle them with care to preserve the precision-machined surfaces critical for proper fitment.
