Upgrade your turbo

Give Your Turbocharger the Performance It Was Born to Deliver

Buying a brand-new turbocharger isn’t always the smartest move, or the most cost-effective one. At PTT Performance, we believe in getting the absolute most out of what you already own.

Our Upgrade Your Turbo service lets you send us your existing unit and we’ll transform it: higher performance, improved durability, and a price point that makes sense. Every job is handled by our specialist team, with the same precision and care we’d give our own builds.

THE PROCESS

How It Works – Step by Step

Not every turbocharger model will display a Send-Your-Own or Just Upgrade option on our product pages, but that doesn’t mean we can’t work with yours.

Simply reach out via our Contact Page with your unit’s details and we’ll take it from there.

Prepare and Send Your Unit

A little preparation goes a long way. Here’s how to pack your turbo safely:

  • Remove any actuator or external valves: these are vulnerable in transit and should not be included
  • Send only the turbocharger: no oil lines, bolts, intake components, or ancillaries
  • Photograph everything before sealing the box: the unit, the packaging, and the shipping label
  • Tape the label on all four edges to prevent it from peeling off during transit
  • Use a tracked express courier: DHL, UPS, or FedEx are recommended; standard postal services can cause delays or customs issues for non-EU shipments

Import documentation (for customs purposes):

  • EORI Number: PL641243075300000
  • VAT ID: PL6412430753

Evaluation & Upgrade

Once your unit arrives, our technicians carry out a thorough inspection. If we discover significant internal damage, such as a faulty wastegate or a cracked exhaust housing, we’ll contact you before doing anything further, and provide a revised quotation.

Standard turnaround: approximately 2 weeks. For time-critical builds, we’ll aim for around 7 days, subject to parts availability and workshop capacity.

Once your upgrade is complete, we ship it straight back to you, ready to install and ready to perform. For all Just Upgrade orders, return shipping is included in the service price.
