OEM Mercedes-Benz Turbochargers

What to make the engine in your Mercedes-Benz vehicle more powerful while improving its fuel economy? Install a turbocharger ("turbo"). We carry a wide selection here at MB Part Source, and you can often get one for less than MSRP. You can even buy it online.

Put simply, turbocharging compresses excess air flowing into engines' cylinders, meaning that engines can then also take in more fuel. When the air and fuel combust, increased power's produced and overall efficiency's improved. How a turbocharger works, though, is a little more complicated.

How Do Turbochargers Work?

First off, a turbocharger's made up of two main sections -- a turbine, which holds a turbine wheel and has a housing, and a compressor, which contains a compressor wheel and its own housing.

The turbine housing allows exhaust gas into the turbine wheel, turning it; the gas then exits the housing through an exhaust outlet. The compressor works opposite to the turbine; its wheel, attached via a forged steel shaft, gets turned by the turbine at high velocity, draws air in, and compresses it. The housing pressurizes that air and diffuses it into a low-velocity stream. The compressed air's then pushed into the engine, and it can then burn more fuel to produce more power.

What's most important when ordering a turbocharger online, though? Getting genuine OEM.

Why Buy OEM Turbochargers vs. Aftermarket?

Manufacturer Quality

Mercedes-Benz manufactures them. What you buy will therefore be up to the standards you've come to expect from your favorite luxury brand. This is quite unlike a lot of turbochargers for sale that you can order on the aftermarket.

Compatibility Assurance

Every OE turbocharger Mercedes-Benz makes for its cars and SUVs will fit and work with them. Aftermarket turbochargers can be less reliable.

Warranty Coverage

No OEM turbo that Mercedes-Benz makes should have any defects in materials or workmanship. Get one that does, and the brand can take care of it. That's peace of mind -- you won't usually get that shopping online for turbos at aftermarket parts stores.
