The turbocharger is a great feat of engineering, which increases the power and efficiency of your car's engine. However, turbochargers are usable parts and wear out over time. Most turbochargers need to be replaced between 100,000 and 150,000 miles. If you are good at maintaining your car and getting timely oil changes your turbocharger can last even longer than that.
The price of a turbocharger usually starts at $ 400 and goes up depending on the make and model of your car. For smaller cars such as an Audi A4, or a Subaru Impreza you can expect to pay less for a turbocharger replacement. If you have a large truck or a sports car you are looking at the thousands of a replacement turbocharger. And, if you have an industrial vehicle or a tractor, the sky is the limit on the price of a replacement turbocharger.
