Turbos have been used in the automotive industry for decades. Turbos have been used in passenger cars since the late 1970s. In the first instance, there was Mercedes-Benz with the 300SD, however, this was only supplied in the United States and Canada. Nearly two years later, in 1979, the first passenger car with a turbo-diesel engine came off the production line at Peugeot.

The turbo itself, however, has been around much longer. Well before the 1970s, turbos were being used in trucks, the shipping industry or the agricultural sector.

MasterTurbo supplies various turbos for the automotive sector. In addition to a wide range of new turbos, we also have a diverse range of ReMan and reconditioned turbos. Well-known brands for the automotive sector include BorgWarner, Garrett and IHI.
