The turbo cartridge (CHRA) houses the shaft, wheels, and bearings that spin your turbocharger. When your turbo seeps oil or loses boost, swapping the cartridge is often a cost-effective alternative to a full replacement. Our Turbo Cartridges collection offers a range of rotating assemblies suitable for rebuilding stock turbos or upgrading to higher-flow configurations.

Choosing the right cartridge means matching critical dimensions and specifications. Keep these factors in mind:

• Balance: A properly balanced cartridge spins true at high RPM. Look for component-balanced units to avoid premature bearing wear.
• Material: Center housings are typically cast iron or aluminum; turbine wheels are often made of high-temperature Inconel alloys. Verify materials for your specific use case.
• Journal vs. Ball Bearing: Journal bearing cartridges are common on OE turbos for cost and durability; ball-bearing cartridges offer faster spool and reduced friction. Confirm your turbo’s bearing type before ordering.
• Wheel Sizes & Trim: Compressor and turbine wheel inducer/exducer diameters and trim numbers determine airflow. Match your existing specs or choose a larger trim for an upgrade—check each product’s specs.
• What’s Included: Most cartridges arrive as a sealed assembly with new seals and bearings. Gaskets, O-rings, and fasteners may be included; see individual listings for details.

Whether you’re refreshing a daily-driven VNT or building a high-output Garrett, this collection helps you find the rotating core that fits your turbo and your goals. Dive into the product pages for exact fitment and technical details.
