Turbocharger Identification by Manufacturer
Garrett Turbocharger Part Numbers
Garrett turbochargers follow the same basic part number format: 6 digits, followed by a dash, followed by another set of digits (or ‘suffix’).
For example: 761302-0001 or 761302-1.
Always take note of the suffix – in many cases the first six digits may be the same, but different suffixes may well be incompatible with one another. Replacement turbochargers from Garrett add a ‘5’ and an ‘S’ to this suffix.
So, what was: 761302-0001 or 761302-1 now becomes: 761302-5001S.
This is a brand new genuine Garrett turbocharger and exactly the same product as the original installed on the production line.
Garrett turbocharger data plates also show the model series for example: GT3267, DSGT3067S, GTA4708, and so on. Don’t confuse this for the part number. Model series often cover dozens if not hundreds of different, incompatible turbochargers.
BorgWarner / KKK Turbocharger Part Numbers
BorgWarner 3K / KKK turbochargers follow the same basic part number format:
5326 – the model number
970 – new as originally installed
7200 – the suffix
Replacement turbochargers from BorgWarner 3K / KKK replace the –970– with –988-.
So, what was: 5326-970-7200
Now becomes: 5326-988-7200
This is a brand new genuine BorgWarner 3K / KKK turbocharger and exactly the same product as the original installed on the production line.
Mitsubishi / MHI Turbocharger Part Numbers
All Mitsubishi / MHI turbochargers follow the same basic part number format: 5 digits, followed by a dash, followed by another 5 digits.
For example:
49377-07720
Replacement turbochargers from Mitsubishi / MHI have the same number format as above.
Mitsubishi / MHI turbocharger data plates also show the model series, for example: TDO4L4-11TK3/VG, TDO5H-16G, TDO6H-14C/14.
Don’t confuse this for the part number. Model series often cover dozens if not hundreds of different, incompatible turbochargers.
IHI Turbocharger Part Numbers
IHI turbochargers have a few different part number formats, the easiest of which to identify is a short combination of letters and numbers, e.g.: VB15, VA55B, AS12, etc.
Holset Turbocharger Part Numbers
Holset turbochargers always have the same part number format: 7 digits, e.g.: 3780211, 4035330, 5322533, etc.
Schwitzer Turbocharger Part Numbers
BorgWarner / Schwitzer turbochargers have two part number formats, the first is: 1500– the model number, 970– new as originally installed, 9487– the suffix.
So, for example, 1500-970-9487.
1500 denotes the model, in this case S500.
This format may be on the data plate of your turbocharger, e.g. S500-9487
Replacement turbochargers from BorgWarner Schwitzer replace the -970- with -988-.
So, what was: 1500-970-9487 or S500-9487
Now becomes: 1500-988-9487
The second part number format for BorgWarner Schwitzer are simply 6 digits, e.g. 319034, 314160, 177488,etc.
