BMW F20 / F30 / B38 Engine Turbocharger – High-Performance Boost Replacement

Restore strong acceleration and smooth boost delivery with this BMW F20 / F30 / B38 engine turbocharger, designed for a wide range of 1-Series and 3-Series models equipped with the B38 1.5L turbo engine. The turbocharger is one of the most important components in a modern BMW. It compresses air, increases engine efficiency, and delivers the powerful low-end torque these models are known for. When the turbo begins to fail, the vehicle may lose power, smoke under load, whistle loudly, or enter limp mode. Replacing it restores reliable boost and full engine performance.

This turbocharger follows the correct factory design. It bolts directly to the exhaust manifold and aligns neatly with the intercooler piping, oil feed line, and coolant connections. Because the mounting layout matches the original configuration, installation is straightforward for technicians. Once fitted, the turbo provides fast spool-up, stable boost pressure, and smooth throttle response.

The strong internal components withstand high temperatures and consistent boost levels. Additionally, the turbo supports efficient combustion, which improves fuel economy and reduces lag. As a result, your F20 or F30 runs smoother during city driving, long trips, and spirited acceleration.

A replacement turbo is ideal for vehicles showing blue smoke, low-boost warnings, excessive oil consumption, turbo whine, or poor acceleration. Many owners replace the turbo during major engine services, after oil starvation issues, or to restore performance on high-mileage B38 engines.

If you are unsure which turbo variant your car uses—manual, automatic, pre-LCI, or LCI—send your VIN number. We will confirm the correct turbocharger for your F20 or F30.
