B5 Passat Turbo - 1996-05 - 1.8 Turbo

Replacement exhaust turbocharger for Volkswagen Passat 3B and 3BG models fitted with the 1.8 Turbo 20V petrol engine. Supplied complete with gasket and seal kit, this turbocharger is designed to restore original boost pressure, engine performance and fuel efficiency on vehicles suffering from worn or faulty turbochargers.

The turbocharger uses exhaust gas energy to drive a turbine and compressor assembly, forcing additional air into the engine to improve combustion efficiency, power output and torque delivery. The legendary 1.8T engine relies heavily on correct turbo operation to deliver smooth boost response and strong mid-range performance.

Over time turbochargers can suffer from worn bearings, boost leaks, oil seal failure or wastegate actuator faults. Common symptoms include reduced power, excessive smoke, oil consumption, turbo whistle, boost pressure faults or limp mode activation.

This replacement turbocharger is supplied with fitting gaskets and seals to simplify installation and help ensure reliable sealing during fitment.
