Restore lost boost to your Volkswagen with the Standard Ignition Turbocharger TBC-519. A turbocharger uses exhaust energy to spin a turbine that compresses intake air, packing more air into the cylinders so the engine can make its rated power and efficiency. This unit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2003 Volkswagen Beetle (L4-1.9L), 1999-2003 Golf (L4-1.9L), 2004 Golf (L4-1.8L), 2000-2003 Jetta (L4-1.9L), and 2004 Jetta (L4-1.9L).
Signs the original turbo may need replacing include a whining or whistling noise, noticeably reduced power or boost, and excessive oil consumption or blue exhaust smoke. Because these symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the turbocharger before replacing it; if a failed turbo is the cause, the TBC-519 replaces it.
