Range comparison

The turbos in this range are selected for their compatibility with Mitsubishi engines producing over 400 horsepower. Each unit is designed to handle high boost levels while maintaining variable geometry precision and CHRA durability.

How to choose

Selecting the right turbo for a high-performance Mitsubishi engine requires attention to compatibility, condition, and intended use. Professionals and enthusiasts must evaluate each unit's specifications to ensure it meets the engine's power and durability demands.

1. Prioritize turbos with variable geometry calibration matching the engine's power band to avoid boost inconsistencies or premature wear.
2. Inspect the CHRA condition and bearing integrity to ensure long-term reliability in high-load scenarios like track use or heavy towing.
3. Verify compatibility with the engine's ECU and boost control system to prevent drivability issues or check engine lights after installation.
4. Choose exchange-standard turbos with a core deposit policy to reduce upfront costs while ensuring proper recycling of the old unit.
5. Opt for turbos from remanufacturers with a track record in high-performance applications to deliver consistent quality and performance.
6. Evaluate the turbo's packaging and handling instructions to prevent damage during shipping or installation in a professional workshop.
7. Consider the turbo's warranty terms and return policy to protect against defects or mismatched fitment in critical applications.

Storage & logistics

For workshops and distributors, proper storage of exchange-standard turbos is essential to maintain their condition and performance. Keep turbos in a climate-controlled environment to prevent moisture damage or corrosion, especially in regions with high humidity. Store units in their original packaging or protective covers to shield them from dust and debris, which can compromise variable geometry or bearing surfaces. Label each turbo with its reference number and compatibility details to streamline inventory management and reduce the risk of misplacement. Rotate stock regularly to ensure older units are used first, preventing obsolescence or performance degradation over time. Train staff on handling procedures to avoid dropping or mishandling turbos, which can damage internal components like the CHRA or wastegate.
