Seven longer guides.
Same desk path. More words for the bench questions. Each one ends on a catalog search or a WhatsApp quote.
-
01
Turbocharger parts for workshops
Complete turbo, CHRA, plate, bench list, WhatsApp quote.
-
02
How to request a wholesale quote
What to send so the desk can quote the same business day.
-
03
Complete turbo vs CHRA
Housing good: often a CHRA. Housing damaged: quote complete.
-
04
Identify a turbo from the plate
Wipe the stamp. Photograph it. Search or send the photo.
-
05
Repair parts on the bench
CHRA, wheels, actuators, kits, gaskets. Quote the line you need.

Compressor wheel vs turbine wheel
Cold side or hot side. Find the failed wheel before you order.

Plate, interfaces, fluids, actuator. A documented match, not a guess.
Start here
Four ways to a quote.
-
01
Type a code
OE, turbo P/N or CHRA. The catalog opens the matching rows. Quote sits on each line.
-
02
Photograph the plate
The site can read the stamp. Camera or photo library. If the reader misses it, send the photo on WhatsApp.
-
03
Italian plate
On a signed-in trade account, a targa filters the catalog by vehicle. No VIN, no owner data.
-
04
WhatsApp the desk
No code, no photo match, or you want both CHRA and complete. One message is enough.
Photo
Read the compressor plate
The stamp on the compressor cover is the match. Make and model get you close. The metal tag is the number.
-
01
Clean the tag
Wipe oil and dirt until the cast or laser stamp is readable.
-
02
Shoot straight on
Fill the frame with the metal plate. Light from the side if the stamp is shallow. No flash glare.
-
03
Include nearby marks
Turbo P/N, OE if you see it, and any small ID on the actuator. If the tag is gone, photograph the small black box too. Two screws. It sits on the turbo.
-
04
Use the site reader, or send it
On home or catalog, tap the plate button. Camera or photo library. If the reader finds no code, WhatsApp the same photo.

Codes
Search the catalog
Every part in the catalog shows the workshop price, excl. VAT. No login needed. The account shows the same price.
-
OE
The car-maker number. Often on the plate or in the parts book.
-
Turbo P/N
The number stamped on the compressor plate. Fastest match.
-
CHRA
Center housing code when you only need the rotating assembly.
Filter by make if you already know the vehicle. Empty result: WhatsApp the code or a plate photo. We look it up the same day.
Italy
Look up an Italian plate
Workshops type a targa when they do not have the turbo number. On a signed-in trade account, the site maps plate to vehicle and filters the catalog.
-
01
Sign in to an approved trade account. Guests see the field locked.
-
02
Type a car plate (AA 123BB) or motorcycle plate (AA 12345). Italy only.
-
03
The catalog filters by make, model and year. You still quote on WhatsApp.
Lookup can be offline or rate-limited. Then send a compressor-plate photo on WhatsApp. We do not show VIN or owner data.
Fit
CHRA, complete, or a part
Quote what you will fit. If you are unsure, ask for both. We match the application on the quote.
-
01
CHRA
Center housing with wheels and shaft. Use when compressor and turbine housings are reusable.
-
02
Complete turbo
Full assembly with housings. Use after housing damage, or if you want the whole unit.
-
03
Parts
Actuators, kits, housings, wheels and the rest of the bench. Same catalog. Same WhatsApp.
If more than one aftermarket line fits, the quote lists them. You pick spec versus price.
