Fitting knock-off turbochargers can cost you when your bakkie doesn’t perform.
South Africa is bakkie country. From a Toyota Hilux to a Ford Ranger and everything in between, we are a nation that loves our turbodiesels.
But I don’t have to tell you that the one thing that always ends up costing money is turbocharger replacements. Especially in bakkies that tow heavy loads, are older, have higher mileage or are second hand.
One can fit aftermarket knock-off turbochargers that might save you money up front but ends up costing you more when your bakkie doesn’t perform like you hoped it would, or it suffers a premature part failure.
