{"product_id":"turbocharger-438","title":"Turbocharger","description":"The Garrett 038253019S is a turbocharger designed for various Volkswagen models, including the Beetle, Golf, and Jetta TDI. Turbochargers allow smaller displacement engines to achieve the power output of larger engines while often providing better fuel efficiency relative to the power produced. This turbocharger functions by using exhaust gas to pressurize the intake air, enabling the engine to burn more fuel for increased power and efficiency.\n\nAs a mechanical device, turbochargers are typically cooled by engine coolant and lubricated by engine oil, often featuring two feed lines and two return lines. Over time, turbochargers can wear out, leading to symptoms such as oil leaks, smoking exhaust, low boost pressure, limp mode, high oil consumption, or play in the turbine shaft due to bearing wear. If a turbocharger is suspected to be failing, it is advisable to replace it to prevent further engine damage.\n\nThis specific Garrett turbocharger is an OE quality part made in China. When installing with factory EGR components, an upgraded EGR Tube (part number GAR-7954960001) may also be required.","brand":"Garrett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52688528376120,"sku":"038253019S","price":2871.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/664201450.jpg?v=1784890599","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/turbocharger-438","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
