What is the name of the turbo charger in a 1996 Volvo 850R?

Filed Under new cars 

Steve G asked:


I have a Volvo 850R with a blown turbo, and I’m looking to buy a used one to replace it. I just don’t know the name of it. The name is something like a G15 or K15 or something like that. Does anyone know the exact name to search for? Or where to get one for cheap? Thanks.

      It depends if the unit is a Garrett or Mitsubishi turbocharger. The Garrett units have the G prefix. Mitsubishi I believe start with V or only have numbers.

      Sven - just kidding :)

      Cheap is not going to happen. You can also look for turbocharger remanufacturers in your area and on the ‘net
