The GMC Typhoon turbocharger is the forced-induction unit that feeds pressurized air to the turbocharged 4.3L V6, the engine the Typhoon came with from the factory. This is a used OEM-style replacement turbo for owners whose original has failed with shaft play, oil leaks, or damaged wheels. It is inspected for shaft play, compressor and turbine wheel condition, and actuator operation, and is meant to restore the factory boost and output.
Because the Typhoon was turbocharged from the factory, this part replaces a worn turbo rather than adding power over stock. It is offered for the 1992 to 1993 Typhoon. Confirm your year and part number, and check which gaskets and oil lines you need, since those may not be included with the turbo.
