Land-Rover Defender 2.2 TDCi 788479 LR029972 turbocharger upgrade

FALCON TURBOS Plug & Play upgrade turbocharger for Land Rover Defender 2.2 TDCi

This truck was fitted with a Garrett GTB1749VK 788479 turbocharger from the factory, which in our opinion was undersized for this capable engine.
So we developed an upgraded turbocharger larger billet compressor wheel, CNC machined compressor housing and upgraded bearing system to increase the flow of clean air into the engine which not only boosts the torque, power and responsiveness of acceleration, but also burns fuel more efficiently allowing more MPG.

This turbocharger is sold outright, with no deposit required. Plus, we’ll give you £100 cashback when you send us your old turbocharger for upcycling. Get in touch if you’d like us to collect your old unit and issue your £100 refund.
