- Latest-gen VNT mechanism
- Ball Bearing Cartridge w/ Ceramic bearings
- Water cooling
Installation Information
This turbocharger requires some modifications to work. First, most early OM642 engines do not have water cooling, so you will need to create a new coolang loop to get coolant to the turbocharger and get the latest version of the turbocharger support mount - the W166 version will work. Second, if your vehicle was equpped with an EGR system you may need to modify your EGR pipe to match the slighly modified EGR location on this turbocharger.
Includes the IDParts Turbo Install Kit (OM642).
