Buying a Turbocharger in South Africa
A tired turbo robs a Land Rover diesel of the low-down pull that makes it worth driving, and Legit Auto Parts supplies units across the range — Td5, 300Tdi, the twin variable-geometry turbos on the 2.7 and 3.0 TDV6, the 2.2 Puma turbo, and the Ingenium. Prices run from around R3,500 for a straightforward single turbo up to roughly R18,000 for a recon TDV6 VNT unit. Most turbos we sell go out reconditioned on an exchange basis, tested and couriered nationwide, and quoted on what's in stock rather than a fixed price.
The classic Land Rover turbo fault is the variable-nozzle (VNT) vane mechanism sticking with soot and carbon, which throws the dreaded 'Restricted Performance' warning and drops you into limp mode. On the twin-turbo TDV6 it's often just one of the two units at fault, but diagnosis matters — replacing a turbo when the real problem is a blocked breather or a leaking intercooler pipe just moves the fault. Because a sticking VNT can be caused by oil starvation, it's worth checking why the original went before fitting a recon unit; sometimes the smarter fix pairs a turbo with a fresh cylinder head or, if the bottom end is tired, a complete engine. We sell most turbos on exchange, so your old unit comes back to us as part of the deal.
Match your turbocharger by engine code and VIN — a Td5 turbo, a 2.7 TDV6 VNT and a 3.0 unit are all different, and even left and right differ on the twin-turbo V6. Send us your VIN and, if you can, the number stamped on the old turbo, and we'll confirm the exact match before anything ships. Not sure which of the twins has failed?

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Land Rover turbocharger cost in South Africa?
As a guide, a reconditioned single turbo for a Td5 or 300Tdi starts around R3,500, while a recon VNT unit for a 2.7 or 3.0 TDV6 can reach roughly R18,000. Most are sold reconditioned on exchange, which keeps the price down. We quote each turbo individually based on the engine code and what's in stock.
Why does my turbo trigger 'Restricted Performance'?
Almost always because the variable-nozzle (VNT) vanes have stuck with soot and carbon, or the electronic actuator that moves them has failed. The ECU sees the turbo not responding and drops into limp mode to protect the engine. A reconditioned unit with a freed or renewed VNT mechanism and a tested actuator resolves it — but confirm the vane fault before condemning the turbo.
Do turbos come on exchange, and what happens to my old one?
Yes — most of our turbos are sold reconditioned on an exchange basis. Your old unit comes back to us as a core, which is why the exchange price is lower than an outright buy. Send the old turbo back once your recon unit is fitted and we'll settle the core side of the deal as agreed on your quote.
How is the turbocharger delivered?
Turbos are couriered nationwide and, being compact, usually arrive within 2 to 3 working days of the quote being accepted. You'll get a tracking reference on dispatch.
How do I make sure the turbo fits my engine?
Match by engine code and VIN — a Td5, a 2.7 TDV6 VNT and a 3.0 unit are all different, and on the twin-turbo V6 the left and right units differ too. Send us your VIN plus the part number stamped on the old turbo where you can read it, and we'll confirm the exact match before dispatch.
What's checked on a recon turbo and is there a warranty?
A reconditioned turbo has the VNT mechanism freed or renewed, the actuator tested, and the shaft play and seals checked before it ships. Recon units carry a warranty; the exact terms are set out in writing on your quote. Fitting clean oil feeds and a serviceable breather protects your new unit.
