Turbochargers for Ford Taurus (2010-2018) 3.5L EcoBoost Left & Right

Direct-Replacement Turbocharger Pair for 2010-2018 Ford Taurus (D258)

What it Does: The Left and Right Turbocharger Set replaces failed, worn, or oil-leaking factory turbos on the 2010-2018 Ford Taurus SHO to restore factory manifold boost pressure, throttle response, and eliminate underboost fault codes.

The Stock Ford Taurus Turbocharger Bearing and Wastegate Failure

The factory GT1549SL turbochargers fitted to the transverse 3.5L EcoBoost (Cyclone) platform operate under extreme thermal stress within the cramped engine bay of the D258 chassis. Over time, high exhaust gas temperatures and repeated thermal cycles cause oil coking within the center housing rotating assembly (CHRA), starving journal bearings of lubrication and damaging internal thrust washers. This degradation leads to excessive turbine shaft play, blown dynamic seals, blue exhaust smoke, oil accumulation in the front-mount intercooler charge pipes, and noisy compressor operation. Furthermore, the internal wastegate flapper arm pivot bushing wears prematurely, resulting in flapper rattle, boost leakage, and recurring P0299 underboost diagnostic trouble codes under load.

The Engineering Solution

Engineered to exact OEM specifications, this twin turbocharger assembly restores full forced-induction efficiency to your powertrain. Each unit features a precisely balanced GT1549SL-style CHRA with dual water-cooled and oil-lubricated bearing housings designed to dissipate transient heat soak and mitigate oil breakdown. High-strength ductile iron turbine housings withstand exhaust gas temperatures without thermal cracking, while precision cast-aluminum compressor covers ensure laminar intake airflow across the wheel. Pre-calibrated pneumatic wastegate actuators eliminate boost creep and bypass flutter, seating firmly against the internal wastegate port to restore immediate low-end torque. Designed as a bolt-on assembly, both units match factory oil feed lines, coolant routing, downpipe flanges, and exhaust manifold studs for seamless integration.

Frequently Asked Questions & Fitment Warnings

Does this fit the D258 Taurus?

Yes, this is a direct fit for the 2010-2018 Ford Taurus equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbocharged engine. This set does NOT fit naturally aspirated 3.5L Duratec V6 models or 2.0L EcoBoost inline-4 models.

What critical steps are required during turbo installation?

You must change engine oil and filter, flush or replace oil feed/return lines, clean intercooler piping of oil blowby, and thoroughly prime both CHRA oil inlets prior to the initial engine startup.
