MuchBoost Z38/OM639 1.5DCI hybrid turbo, Smart ForFour 1.5DCI, 140 hp
A bolt-on MuchBoost hybrid turbo for applications including Smart ForFour 1.5DCI, Mitsubishi Colt VI 1.5DCI. This upgrade is built for Z38/OM639 1.5DCI applications and retains a clean, vehicle-specific installation.
The turbo is based on original IHI housings. The upgraded compressor and higher-flow turbine sides provide considerably more capacity than the factory unit, while the housings are precision-machined for the new internals.
Depending on the selected version, the manufacturer rates the turbo for approximately 140 hp. Final output depends on engine condition, the fuel system, intake, exhaust, cooling and, above all, the ECU calibration.
An upgraded turbo always requires vehicle-specific ECU calibration.
