Product Information

Full details

This maXpeedingrods turbocharger cartridge CHRA is designed specifically for owners of the Mitsubishi 3000GT 3.0L with a 6G72 engine looking to restore their vehicle's factory performance. Serving as a direct replacement for the TD04-09B turbocharger system, this unit offers a cost-effective alternative to purchasing an entirely new turbo assembly; however, because it is a precision-engineered internal component, it requires expert technical knowledge for proper installation and oil system priming to avoid premature failure.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Do I need to replace the entire turbo assembly?

No, if your turbine and compressor housings are in good condition, you can simply replace the CHRA internal unit.

Is this a direct fit for all 3000GT models?

It is specific to the 6G72 engine using the TD04-09B turbo; verify your OEM part number (e.g., MD168264) before ordering.

Should I change the oil when installing this?

Yes, always perform a full oil and filter change to ensure no debris from the old turbo damages the new cartridge.

What happens if I don't prime the turbo?

Starting the engine dry can cause instant damage to the bearings and seals, leading to premature turbo failure.

Can I install this in my driveway?

While technically possible with the right tools, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper alignment and seal.

Troubleshooting

Excessive smoke from exhaust after install

Check oil drain line for restrictions or kinks that prevent oil from returning to the oil pan.

New turbo is noisy or whining

Inspect intake plumbing for loose clamps or debris that may have entered the compressor housing.

Low boost pressure

Check all vacuum lines and intercooler connections for leaks; ensure the wastegate actuator is properly calibrated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly more affordable than a full turbocharger assembly
  • Maintains OEM compatibility for seamless integration
  • Restores original engine power and boost characteristics
  • High-quality construction matching factory specifications

Cons

  • Requires professional installation to ensure longevity
  • Not suitable for DIYers without specialized turbo knowledge
  • Requires verification of specific OEM part numbers before purchase

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, confirm your existing turbo housing is free of cracks or internal scoring, as the CHRA relies on a solid housing for structural integrity. Always use new gaskets and high-temperature bolts during reassembly. Compatibility is strictly limited to the MD168264 series; verify your tag matches 49177-02400, 49177-02300, or 49177-09030 before beginning. Post-installation, it is critical to perform an oil prime: crank the engine without starting to allow oil pressure to reach the turbo bearings. For long-term care, utilize high-quality synthetic oil and allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds before shutoff to prevent oil coking inside the bearings.
