From one simple turbo to two working in sequence

The older four- and five-cylinder diesels keep things simple. A 300Tdi breathes through an AlliedSignal (Garrett) T25, and the Td5 through a Garrett GT2052S shared by its Defender and Discovery tunes. When the Defender moved to the Ford Duratorq Puma engine in 2007, it gained a variable-geometry turbo and torque rose from 300 Nm to 360 Nm.

The V6 and V8 diesels are where it gets involved. The 2.7 TDV6 uses one large variable-geometry turbo chosen for low-speed pulling power, the 3.0 SDV6 pairs a variable-geometry primary with a second turbo that joins at higher revs, and the 3.6 TDV8 runs two variable-geometry turbos at up to 1.6 bar of boost. A quote for any of them depends on knowing exactly which arrangement you have.

Finding the correct turbo for your engine

  1. Read the part number on the turbo housing. Versions within one engine family can differ, so a number from the old unit beats a model name every time.
  2. Pair it with the engine code. 300Tdi, Td5, 2.4 or 2.2 Puma, 276DT for the 2.7 V6, 306DT for the 3.0 V6, or the 3.6 TDV8. The code narrows the search before the part number confirms it.
  3. On a 3.0 V6, confirm one turbo or two. Single-turbo TDV6 and sequential twin-turbo SDV6 versions share the 306DT family. On the SDV6, a fault in the valves or actuators that switch between the two stages can cause flat spots or limp mode while both turbos are healthy.
  4. Ask whether the price is on exchange. Many turbos are sold with your old unit going back to the seller, which changes the figure you pay. Make sure two quotes are on the same basis before you compare them.
  5. Budget for the oil lines, not just the turbo. Change the oil and filter, fit new oil feed and return lines, and find out why the first turbo failed.

Land Rover Turbocharger Price Guide

A Land Rover turbo price is set by the engine it serves, whether the system uses a single turbo or a twin set, variable or fixed geometry, and whether the unit is used, reconditioned or new, along with what comes with it, such as the actuator. No two independent South African sellers were publishing a price for the same Land Rover turbo when we looked in September 2026, so these rows show dashes.

Low boost is not always a dead turbo

On variable-geometry units, soot can stick the vanes and trigger over-boost or under-boost faults, and an air leak in the intercooler pipes makes any turbo work harder. Both are worth checking before a turbo is condemned, as is the oil feed: blocked feed pipes and degraded oil starve the bearings.

Sometimes the turbo is the symptom rather than the cause. If a compression test shows the engine itself is worn, price a used engine with the same code before spending on a turbo. And unexplained coolant loss or white exhaust smoke is a reason to look at the head and gasket, or at an EGR or oil cooler leak, rather than the turbo.
