Whether you’re browsing P-Gear acceleration charts or hearing stories from tracks and quarter-mile races, you’ll find Turbosystems at the heart of it.

Turbo Installation and Compatibility

These turbochargers are vehicle-specific, meaning they directly replace the original without modifications or complex installations. However, a larger turbo requires proper tuning to ensure your engine operates correctly and you can fully enjoy the new capabilities. Check the detailed compatibility examples at the bottom of this page.

Remember to consider regulations in your area and local automotive laws regarding power upgrades and turbo replacements. Always confirm whether modifying your car is street-legal.

Benefits of the OM642 Hybrid Turbo

With a reinforced and updated performance turbocharger, you’ll achieve significantly higher output compared to the stock unit. More power and torque mean your engine gains a livelier character, performing better across the rev range. Thanks to stronger construction and improved airflow, higher boost pressures can be used more efficiently and safely.
