What are the functions of a turbocharger? The turbocharger is driven by exhaust gases. Just like a compressor, the turbocharger provides pressurisation in the cylinders. This allows the engine to achieve higher torque and power than engines without a turbocharger, as the air is 'pushed' into the engine.
There are advantages and disadvantages of turbochargers. An advantage of turbochargers is that the efficiency of a turbocharger is very high as it requires no mechanical drive, unlike a compressor which is mechanically driven. The disadvantage of the turbocharger compared to a compressor is the so-called turbo lag, as it takes a fraction of a second for the turbo to turn on.
When replacing the turbocharger, we recommend replacing new fasteners and gaskets as well to prevent leaks. Our company MasterTurbo specialises completely in the turbocharger. Not only can you buy a complete turbocharger from us, but we also stock individual parts, such as a turbocharger impeller, intercooler, turbine wheel, compressor wheel, turbine housing or actuator. As a turbo parts supplier, MasterTurbo's specialists can put together a turbocharger kit for you with the required turbo, parts, gaskets etc. for installation. We offer parts for different applications. For example, BMW turbo parts, Ford Focus turbo parts, Mercedes turbo parts and Volvo turbo parts. Find turbo parts online with the help of our specialists.
Difference between supercharged and turbocharged? The supercharger, also known as a compressor, provides additional air supply to the engine. This allows the engine to achieve higher torque and power than without a compressor since the air is "pushed" into the engine. The supercharger is mounted to the crankshaft via a belt connection, which drives the compressor. There are several types of compressors available, each with its own construction and advantages and disadvantages. The compressor already builds up pressure at low revs, unlike a turbocharger. The disadvantage of a compressor is the mechanical connection, which means the efficiency of a compressor is somewhat lower than that of a turbo. This is because a turbocharged engine is driven by exhaust gases and has no mechanical drive.
Finding the right turbocharger for your application can sometimes be a tough job. Manufacturers are constantly developing new options, changing existing turbochargers or taking turbochargers out of production. We supply small to big turbochargers, not only for passenger cars but also for agricultural and industrial vehicles, trucks, shipping and performance.
MasterTurbo can supply various turbos for the automotive sector and your turbocharged cars. Besides a large range of new car turbochargers, we also have a diverse range of ReMan and remanufactured turbos. Well-known brands for the automotive sector are BorgWarner, Mitsubishi, Garrett and IHI to find the perfect turbocharger for in your car engine. We offer products for different applications, like Audi turbochargers and BMW turbochargers.
Many trucks today are equipped with a turbocharger on the engine block. With this application, more power can be extracted from the engines and they will run more efficiently. MasterTurbo can supply a suitable turbo for various brands of trucks for example, DAF Trucks, Iveco, Scania, Volvo, Renault, MAN and Mercedes trucks. Besides the popular Holset turbos, we also supply Schwitzer, BorgWarner and Garrett for trucks.
Reconditioned turbos and engine blocks are a common phenomenon in the agricultural sector. Besides new turbos, we also have a large range of reconditioned and ReMan turbos for your John Deere, New Holland, Deutz, Massey Ferguson, Claas, Case, Yanmar, Kubota, Shibaura, Fendt or another brand of agricultural vehicle, for example. Besides supplying a standard turbo, customisation is also common in the agricultural sector. Leaving an agricultural vehicle stationary during the harvest season costs a lot of time and money, in addition, parts for the turbos from these vehicles are no longer available after some time. MasterTurbo likes to think further where the manufacturer stops. We are able, in our professional workshop, to assemble or quickly overhaul a turbo. This way, an agricultural vehicle can be used again in no time.
Today, a vast majority of all ships are equipped with a diesel engine. With brands such as Mitsubishi, Garrett, Schwitzer and BorgWarner, MasterTurbo has various types of turbos available that are suitable for large or small ship engines, such as from Caterpillar, Cummins, Honda, JCB, Mitsubishi, Volvo Penta and more.
For excavators, bulldozers or cranes, we supply turbochargers for all types of industrial vehicles. A broken turbo, and thus standing still, can often have far-reaching (financial) consequences in this industry. We do all we can to deliver or overhaul these turbos quickly. Besides sudden incidents, we can also take into account the maintenance plans made for machines. In this way, we know in advance which turbo will arrive, so we can free up space and time in our workshop. We supply brands including BorgWarner, IHI and Holset for applications such as Komatsu, Liebherr, Sisu, Valmet, Yanmar and more.
Sometimes vehicles require more power than average, think of the racing world or tractor pulling, for example. BorgWarner is one of the specialists in turbo performance, they offer with the EFR line (Engineered For Racing) a strong line of turbos, especially suitable for racing. You can also buy these at MasterTurbo.

Our turbo specialists overhaul turbos every working day in our specialist workshop. Reconditioning a turbocharger is a complex job and must follow a strict process. After receiving the turbo in the workshop, the turbo is fully checked; in the vast majority of cases, it is possible to overhaul the turbo. It is then expertly dismantled, and we look at which parts need to be replaced or repaired to get the turbo working in an optimal state. In addition, further analysis is carried out; how does this damage occur and how can it be prevented in the future? After analysis, the customer is informed of the work required and the turbo overhaul costs. After an agreement, the overhaul and preparation of the turbo starts.
