2017 Buick Encore
Turbocharger and Installation Accessory Kit

There's two parts to that:

1) We have lower operating costs than the OEMs and dealerships; no brick and mortar locations, lower marketing expenses, and other side effects of being a smaller company

2) OEMs tend to price their parts for the market when the cars are newer, where the cost is either covered by warranty, or targeting customers who ONLY go to the dealership and are less likely to cross-shop with the aftermarket. We sell more to DIY enthusiasts, or customers who got a particularly shocking repair quote from their dealership and want to explore other options

This item (40-30485 GG) is just the genuine OEM Garret GT1446 turbocharger, but we also have it available with gaskets and an oil feed line (to ensure better long-term reliability) available here:

No, this turbo (Stigan 847-1446, SKU 40-30485 SG) is a stock replacement that's going to fit and function just like OEM.

This turbo (40-30485 GG) is a genuine OEM Garrett turbo, the exact same item you'd get from a Chevy or Buick dealership.

No, this is only for vehicles which were turbocharged from the factory. If you're looking to add a turbo to your vehicle, you would also need an exhaust manifold, all the intake components (including the intercooler and vacuum parts), likely some larger fuel injectors, and a custom tune to make it all work safely. This will also affect your vehicle's reliability, fuel economy and ability to pass any emissions testing.

While we can only guarantee fitment on US-spec vehicles, this turbocharger (40-30485) is a match for General Motors OEM part number 55565353, usually found here on Chevrolet compacts.
