Turbo Engines

How much does a turbo engine cost?

A turbocharged replacement engine from Power Engines costs between $1,849 and $4,999. That range covers 51 turbo listings in stock across 15 engine families and 12 makes, with 759 units on the shelf at our warehouse in Hawthorne, New Jersey. The 2.5L 4D56T turbo diesel and the 2.4L 2L-TE sit at the entry point at $1,849; the 5.2L Isuzu 4HK1-TC commercial diesel tops the range at $4,999.

Prices on this page are per engine and include no core deposit. Freight is quoted separately and is listed further down.

Every turbocharged engine we stock, by engine code

Turbocharged engines are bought by engine code far more often than by model name, because a single nameplate can carry three different turbo engines across one generation. This index lists every turbo family currently on the shelf.

Ford and Lincoln EcoBoost turbo engines

Ford EcoBoost is the single deepest turbo group here: 14 listings across four engine codes, priced from $2,499 to $2,899. All of them carry a Remanufactured condition flag in our catalogue. The code stamped on the engine matters more than the model year, because Ford changed EcoBoost hardware mid-generation on the Escape, Fusion and MKZ without changing the badge.

CAF488WQ2 — 2.0L EcoBoost, 2013–2018

Five listings at $2,799, covering the earlier 2.0L EcoBoost found in the Escape, Fusion, Focus ST, Lincoln MKZ and Lincoln MKC. This is the group most often replaced after coolant intrusion into the cylinders.

2013-2016 Ford Escape 2.0L CAF488WQ2 Turbo · 2013-2016 Ford Fusion 2.0L CAF488WQ2 Turbo · 2013-2016 Lincoln MKZ 2.0L CAF488WQ2 Turbo · 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST 2.0L CAF488WQ2 Turbo · 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC 2.0L CAF488WQ2 Turbo

CAF488WQ5 — 2.0L EcoBoost, 2015–2020

Five listings at $2,499 and the largest unit count in the whole turbo collection. This is the later 2.0L EcoBoost used in the Edge, Escape, Fusion, Lincoln MKC and Lincoln MKZ. If your Escape sits on the 2013–2016 side, you need WQ2 instead.

2015-2018 Ford Edge 2.0L CAF488WQ5 Turbo · 2017-2019 Ford Escape 2.0L CAF488WQ5 Turbo · 2017-2019 Lincoln MKC 2.0L CAF488WQ5 Turbo · 2017-2020 Ford Fusion 2.0L L4 Ecoboost Turbo · 2017-2020 Lincoln MKZ FWD 2.0L L4 Ecoboost Turbo

CAF488WQGA — 2.3L EcoBoost, 2015–2022

Two listings at $2,899 for the 2.3L EcoBoost in the Mustang and the Explorer. The 2.3L is a different block from both 2.0L codes and does not interchange with them.

2015-2022 Ford Mustang 2.3L Turbo CAF488WQGA · 2016-2019 Ford Explorer 2.3L Turbo CAF488WQGA

M1DA — 1.0L EcoBoost three-cylinder

Two listings at $2,499 for the three-cylinder 1.0L EcoBoost in the Fiesta and Focus, identified by VIN E in the 8th digit.

2014 2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L 3 Cyl Turbo Engine VIN E 8th digit turbo M1da · 2015 2018 Ford Focus 1.0L 3 Cyl Turbo Engine VIN E 8th digit turbo M1da

Diagnosing before you buy: Ford 2.0L EcoBoost coolant intrusion symptoms and 1.5L vs 2.0L EcoBoost: which one is in your Escape, Fusion or MKZ. Installation walkthroughs: Ford Escape 2017–2019 and Ford Mustang 2015–2022 2.3L. The wider Ford range sits in Ford engines.

Audi 2.0T EA888 turbo engines

Fourteen Audi 2.0T listings across three EA888 codes, $2,349 to $2,899, all flagged New. The codes split cleanly by generation, and they are not interchangeable even where the car looks identical from outside.

CAE — EA888 Gen 2, 2009–2014

Five listings at $2,349 for the A4, A5, A6, Q5 and TT. On the A4 this engine is identified by VIN F in the 5th digit.

2009-2012 Audi A4 2.0L CAE · 2009-2012 Audi Q5 2.0L CAE · 2010-2012 Audi A5 2.0L CAE · 2011-2014 Audi TT 2.0L Turbo EA888 Gen2 CAE CETA · 2012-2016 Audi A6 2.0L CAE

Hyundai and Kia 2.0T Theta II (G4KH) turbo engines

Eleven G4KH listings, split into two generations that share a name and very little else. Both are flagged New in our catalogue. Getting the generation wrong is the most common ordering error on this family, because Hyundai and Kia carried the same 2.0T badge across the change.

G4KH Gen 1 — 2011–2016

Four listings at $1,949 for the Sonata, Santa Fe, Optima and Sportage. On the 2012–2015 Optima this engine is identified by VIN 6 in the 8th digit.

2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata 2.0L Turbo G4KH Theta II GDI · 2011-2016 Kia Sportage 2.0L Turbo G4KH Theta II GDI · 2012-2015 Kia Optima 2.0L Turbo G4KH GDI · 2013-2016 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0L Turbo G4KH Theta II GDI

G4KH Gen 2 — 2015–2023

Seven listings at $2,599, the widest model spread in the collection: Sonata, Santa Fe, Sorento, Optima, Sportage, Veloster N and Elantra N. The Veloster N is identified by VIN H in the 8th digit.

2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata 2.0L Turbo G4KH Theta II GDI · 2016-2018 Kia Sorento 2.0L Turbo G4KH GDI Theta II GDI · 2016-2020 Kia Optima 2.0L Turbo G4KH Theta II GDI · 2017-2019 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0L Turbo G4KH Theta II GDI · 2017-2020 Kia Sportage 2.0L Turbo G4KH Theta II GDI · 2019-2022 Hyundai Veloster N 2.0L Turbo G4KH Theta II GDI · 2022-2023 Hyundai Elantra N 2.0L Turbo G4KH Theta II GDI

Read Theta II G4KH: Gen 1 vs Gen 2, turbo failure and fitment before ordering, and how to diagnose Theta II turbo failure if the car is still drivable. The naturally aspirated side of the same family sits in Theta II engines, and the full brand ranges are Hyundai engines and Kia engines. Installation guide: Hyundai Santa Fe 2013–2016. The 1.6L turbo GDI sister engine is covered in Hyundai and Kia 1.6L Turbo GDI failure and replacement.

Subaru FA20DIT turbo boxer engines

Two listings at $4,495, both flagged Remanufactured: the 2015–2021 Impreza WRX and the 2014–2018 Forester XT. The FA20DIT is a direct-injected turbocharged flat-four and shares no long-block parts with the naturally aspirated FB and EJ engines that preceded it in the same chassis.

2014-2018 Subaru Forester XT 2.0L FA20DIT Turbo · 2015-2021 Subaru Impreza WRX 2.0L FA20DIT Turbo

If your car is a non-turbo Impreza, Forester, Legacy or Outback, start at Subaru engines instead. Replacement walkthrough: how to replace a Subaru Impreza engine. Head gasket and oil consumption background: Subaru boxer engine problems.

Chevrolet and Buick 1.4L turbo engines

Three listings at $1,999, all flagged New, covering the 1.4L LE2 turbo four used in the 2016–2019 Cruze, the 2021–2022 Trax and the 2016–2022 Encore. All three are identified by VIN M in the 8th digit with option code LE2. The earlier LUV version of the 1.4L turbo is a different engine and does not interchange.

2016-2019 Chevrolet Cruze 1.4L L4 Turbo · 2016-2022 Buick Encore 1.4L L4 Turbo · 2021-2022 Chevrolet Trax 1.4L L4 Turbo

Symptom checklist before replacing: Chevy Cruze and Sonic 1.4L turbo failure symptoms. Wider range: Chevrolet engines.

Turbo diesel engines

Seven turbo diesel listings from $1,849 to $4,999, all flagged New. These are the imported light-truck and commercial engines, and they are the cheapest route into a turbocharged replacement on this site.

1982-2006 Mitsubishi Montero Pajero 2.5 Turbo 4D56T · Mitsubishi Delica Van 2.5 Turbo 4D56T · Fit Toyota 4Runner 2.4L Turbo Diesel Engine 2L-TE Brand New Motor 4 Runner · Fit Toyota Hilux 2.4L Turbo Diesel Engine 2L-TE Brand New Motor · Nissan Navara Diesel 2.5L turbo engine YD25 · Nissan NP300 YD25 Diesel 2.5L Turbo Engine YD25T · 2007 2009 Isuzu 4 CYL Turbo Diesel 5.2L Engine NPR NRR NQR 4HK1 TC 240920

Naturally aspirated and heavier diesels sit in diesel engines, and the box-truck and work-van range is in truck and commercial engines. Installation guide for the 4D56T vans: Mitsubishi Delica van engine replacement.

New and remanufactured turbo engines in this collection

Of the 51 turbo listings in stock, 35 are catalogued as New and 16 as Remanufactured. The split is not random: the entire Ford and Lincoln EcoBoost group and both Subaru FA20DIT listings are remanufactured, while the Audi 2.0T, Hyundai and Kia G4KH, GM 1.4L and all four turbo diesel families are catalogued as new.

Use the Condition filter at the top of this page to narrow the grid to one or the other. The difference between the two, and where rebuilt and used engines sit alongside them, is covered in new vs remanufactured vs rebuilt vs used engines. Site-wide, the two pools are also browsable as brand new engines and remanufactured engines.

What arrives when you order a turbo engine

Engines ship as bare long blocks with minimal external accessories. Plan to transfer your own intake and exhaust manifolds, sensors, brackets and accessories from the original engine during installation.

Two practical consequences on a turbocharged install. First, a failed turbo frequently puts debris into the oil circuit, so the feed and return lines and the oil cooler are worth inspecting rather than reusing blind. Second, the hardware that bolts a turbo to the head is routinely seized on high-mileage cars; order gaskets and studs with the engine instead of discovering it on the lift.

How to confirm the right turbo engine for your vehicle

Displacement and model year are not enough to confirm fitment on a turbocharged engine. Hyundai and Kia ran two different G4KH generations under one badge, Ford ran WQ2 and WQ5 variants of the same 2.0L EcoBoost in the same nameplates, and Audi ran three EA888 codes through the A4 and Q5. Before you order, have four things in front of you:

1. Year, make and model including the trim, since turbo and non-turbo trims share a body.
2. Displacement as printed on the engine cover or in the owner manual.
3. The engine code stamped on the block — CAF488WQ5, G4KH, CPM, LE2, FA20DIT and so on.
4. The engine digit in your VIN, which is the 8th digit on most of these vehicles and the 5th on the Audi A4.

Use the Year / Make / Model filter at the top of this page to narrow the grid, then confirm the exact listing with Power Engines on 877-900-2695 or through the contact page before ordering. We would rather spend five minutes on the phone than have the wrong long block sitting on your shop floor.

Why turbocharged engines fail, and when replacement beats repair

Turbocharged engines fail in patterns that a naturally aspirated engine does not share. Higher cylinder pressure and higher exhaust temperature put sustained load on head gaskets, piston rings and bearings, and direct injection removes the fuel wash that used to keep intake valves clean.

The common endpoints we see on the phone:

• Coolant intrusion into a cylinder on the 2.0L EcoBoost, usually showing as misfires and coolant loss with no external leak.
• Rod bearing and rotating-assembly damage on the Theta II family after oil starvation.
• Carbon buildup on intake valves across every direct-injected turbo here, showing as rough cold running and a drop in boost response.
• Turbo failure that feeds debris back through the oil system, which is what turns a turbo replacement into an engine replacement.

The decision point is usually cost rather than diagnosis. Once a repair quote covers a head gasket, machine work and the labour to pull the engine anyway, a complete long block at $1,849 to $4,999 with a six-month warranty is often the cheaper finish line. Compare the replacement options here.

Shipping, local pickup and lead time

Orders placed before 2pm EST ship the same day from our Hawthorne, New Jersey warehouse. Engines move by freight on a pallet, and the rate depends on where it is going and what equipment is at the delivery end.

Delivery to a commercial address with a forklift is the cheapest option by a wide margin, so shipping to your installer rather than your driveway is usually worth asking about. Within 30 miles of the Hawthorne warehouse, local delivery and warehouse pickup are both available at no charge. We do not ship to Hawaii, Alaska or Puerto Rico. Full terms are on the shipping policy page.

Warranty, returns and what is covered

Every turbo engine on this page carries a 6-month warranty from the date of delivery, with no core charge at any point. Two conditions decide whether a claim stands:

• The engine must be installed within 30 days of delivery.
• Installation must be carried out by an ASE-certified shop.

Coverage applies to internal lubricated parts. Cracks are not covered, and covers, seals and gaskets are not warranted. Returns are accepted within 30 days; a 20% restocking fee applies to engines returned unboxed. The complete text is on the warranty page and the refund policy.

Buying a turbo engine without a core charge

Power Engines does not hold a core deposit. Most remanufactured-engine suppliers do, which means the advertised price is not the price you pay at checkout — you pay a deposit on top and get it back only after your old engine is crated, shipped back and inspected. On a turbo engine that is a real problem, because a failed turbo often takes the old block out of core-eligible condition.

What that changes practically: the price on each listing on this page is what you pay for the engine, you are not holding a second payment on a card for weeks, and you are free to scrap or keep the old long block. For a shop quoting a customer, it also removes the line item that makes a quote look higher than a competitor who quoted without the deposit.

Turbo engine questions we get on the phone

Can I put a turbo engine in a car that came non-turbo?

Not as a straight swap. The turbo and non-turbo versions of these engines differ in fuel system, engine management, cooling and exhaust, and the wiring and ECU will not carry over. The listings on this page are sold as replacements for vehicles that left the factory turbocharged.

Do these engines come with a warranty if I install them myself?

No. The warranty requires installation by an ASE-certified shop within 30 days of delivery. If you are doing the work yourself, you can still buy the engine, but the warranty terms will not apply.

How do I tell a G4KH Gen 1 from a Gen 2?

Generation follows the model year range and the VIN engine digit rather than the badge. The Gen 1 listings here cover 2011–2016 Sonata, Santa Fe, Optima and Sportage; the Gen 2 listings cover 2015 onward. The full comparison is here, and a phone call to 877-900-2695 settles it in a minute.

Is a remanufactured turbo engine a downgrade?

It is a different product, not a lesser one. A remanufactured long block is disassembled, machined back to specification and reassembled with new wear parts, and it carries the same 6-month warranty as the new listings on this page. The comparison guide sets out where each one makes sense.

Can I collect the engine myself?

Yes. Warehouse pickup at 55 Thomas Rd N, Hawthorne, NJ 07506 is free, and local delivery within 30 miles is free as well. Call ahead on 877-900-2695 so the pallet is staged when you arrive.
