A-Premium Complete Turbo Turbocharger with Gasket Kit Compatible with Chevy Chevrolet Cruze 2011-2015 & Sonic 2012-2020 & Trax 2013-2021 & Buick Encore 2013-2021 1.4L Replace# 55565353

This turbocharger looked solid and fit perfectly on my 2020 Chevy Trax 1.4. The kit came with everything needed, althoug I bought a Dorman kit separately to change out the oil and coolant lines(highly recommend.) I got everything hooked up, primed with some oil, cranked engine with coild unhooked to bring up oil pressure. It started right up, I idled it for about 30 minutes, test drive around side streets. Came back an rechecked all connections and fluids. THen took it down th highway a bit. It's driving like new. I am 300 plus miles post install with zero noise, smooth acceleration and no leaks as of now. I've been driving a little lighter in the intial miles. This saved me 1/2 off OEM and appears to be working flawlessly. Saved my car and the need to buy another. I will begin pushing it a little harder now that it's broken in and will update with any issues. I am planning on buying a couple other parts from them including an upgraded aluminum water outlet (another known Ecotec failing point.)

I recently drove my 2014 Chevy Cruze (83k miles) from Idaho to Florida to gift to my niece for her first car. A day after arriving to Florida, the Cruze's check engine light came on...the OBD II scanner showed the dreaded P0299 low turbo boost code. Even though the car ran smooth, I noticed the power was reduced during high acceleration. I ordered the A-Premium turbocharger based on reviews. For anyone who has never replaced this turbo charger, set aside a full day to do the replacement. Most of the fittings and hoses will reattach will little effort. However, the oil return pipe and coolant return pipe were frustrating to attach...mainly due to the tight-fitting area and location. Other than those frustrations, the A-Premium turbo fit and construction was a very good! Be certain to add about 20 ml of synthetic engine oil to the oil feed bore before attaching the oil feed pipe and spin the exhaust turbine to distribute the oil into the turbo journal bearings before reattaching the catalytic converter to the turbo exhaust chamber. Regarding that pesky oil return pipe that I mentioned, I found that it was easier to bolt the tube to the turbo housing (torque only to 71 in-lbs) before installing the turbo and guide the outlet of the oil return pipe into the hole of the engine block until it snapped into place, as I lowered the turbo into place. Overall, the install isn't complicated or beyond the capabilities of a home mechanic. A flexible head ratchet and 10-inch extension bar makes the installation much easier! You will need Torx, reverse Torx, hex socket set, and 10mm & 13 mm deep-well sockets to remove the catalytic converter, since the bolts extend a little too far beyond the nuts for a standard hex socket. You will need to drain some of the coolant for this job, so be certain to have Dexcool II coolant (50/50 dilution) on hand to replace the drained coolant. It has been several days since I installed the A-Premium turbochager and the Cruze is running very well. In retrospect, the original OEM turbo was still in excellent condition...the turbo shaft had no noticeable play, no cracks around the wastegate or turbine, and the wastegate was in good physical shape. The issue was that the actuator (silver can-like structure with the arm) diaphram was starting to fail which failed to fully seal the wastegate against the housing. I could have replaced the actuator for $35-100 and saved myself from the headache of a turbo installation. Overall, I would highly recommend the A-Premium brand for this turbocharger! I'll make future a update once my niece puts some miles on the turbo.

Works but never was able to get the check engine light to turn off. Less than a year later its making noise and on its last leg. Its what I get trying to save a couple hundred dollars. I had already spent $3k on a motor should have just spent the money on an OE Turbo.

Quality made just like OEM! Buy alot of A-premium parts and never disappointed. Fit perfect in my 2015 Chevy Cruze. BE SURE to put in right O-ring side first always rub oil on O-rings. It sets in there perfectly putting that side first other it's off. Tighten O-rings side to 71 inch pounds and T45 e-tork to 15 foot pounds.

If your buyimg this for an Encore, make sure to buy new lines first of all, good quality ones as well. second install the oil return tube before dropping in the turbo; you will thank me later. Make sure any lines you buy come with the crush washers, though the kit does contain some copper crush washers. The coolant supply line from the block to the turbo is a pain to get to due to the a/c bracket being beefed up on the Encore, impossible to get a socket on, I had to cut the line, then install a new one at the block and go under car with cat removed and put fitting on turbo, the banjo bolt in the kit is a torx so you can get socket on it then if you want, or you can grind a bit of the a/c bracket to make room for a socket. Make sure the oil feed line is not installed until you tighten the manifold, or the lower right bolt on the manifold is a pain to get to. Just installed turbo, only a few miles on it so far, but it seems good so far old one was roached at 94,000 miles

Fit great. No more leaks

I'm at about 5k miles post install. Everything working exactly as it should. Great part. Great price. I can't say this with 100% certainty, but I feel like the low reviews are people who didn't change/flush/prime oil. I did an oil change 2 hours before swapping the part. Let the car run for about 20 minutes, then drained it. Expensive? Yeah. Wasteful.... well? That depends on your definition. Unnecessary? Better safe than sorry. After that oil change, added more fresh, new oil. I let it spray out of the feed hose to make sure I had pressure (into a bucket), I turned the car over with turbo installed about 10 times with ignition disabled to prime the turbo. I changed oil again after 1000 miles. If your old turbo failed, you MUST make sure your oil is clean. Particulate that wouldn't really affect an engine will cause a turbo to catastrophically fail. You can not just bolt on this replacement and do none of the other work. Also, pro-tip Install the cooler line at the block NOT on the turbo. Connect it to the turbo once the turbo is placed. If that doesn't make sense to you now, it will. Good Luck!

Works great, installed nicely and everything works as it should! Definitely seems to be a good factory replacement option, good value for the money!

Do not attempt to install this it is to long on this car reviews tell you to bend and force it your asking for trouble thats why they don't last. UAP napa sells a gates model fits perfectly takes 2 minutes. The other cruzs i don't know just giving you a heads up on this model only. Not saying this is bad product they need to remove the 2016 limited from there list. IT DOSE NOT FIT DON'T MAKE IT FIT. I sent it back.

Very impress with the easy fitment to OEM installation. Great deal.
