Turbochargers for Lincoln MKS (2010-2016) 3.5L EcoBoost Left & Right

OEM-Replacement Twin Turbochargers for 2010-2016 Lincoln MKS (D3)

What it Does: The direct replacement turbocharger set restores factory boost pressure, throttle response, and manifold density on the 2010-2016 Lincoln MKS by replacing fatigued factory turbochargers and eliminating underboost fault codes.

The Stock Lincoln MKS Turbocharger Wear & Failure Points

Under sustained load and thermal cycling, factory turbochargers on the transverse 3.5L EcoBoost platform face severe oil breakdown, shaft play, and bearing wear within the center housing rotating assembly (CHRA). Prolonged exhaust heat warps wastegate flapper linkages, causing internal blow-by that triggers P0299 underboost codes and dulls low-end torque. Concurrently, degraded piston ring seals permit oil contamination into the charge air pipes and catalytic converters, resulting in visible smoke and reduced intercooler thermal efficiency.

The Engineering Solution

This matched pair of left and right GT1549SL-style turbochargers matches factory flow dynamics and bolt patterns without ECU retuning. Each unit incorporates a water- and oil-cooled cast iron bearing housing, direct-fit pneumatic wastegate actuators, and precision-balanced rotating assemblies to eliminate high-RPM vibration. High-temperature alloy turbine housings withstand continuous exhaust gas temperatures (EGT), ensuring rapid spool and seamless throttle response across the complete power band.

Frequently Asked Questions & Fitment Warnings

Does this fit the D3 MKS?

Yes, this is a direct fit for the 2010-2016 Lincoln MKS equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine. This set does not fit naturally aspirated 3.7L Duratec V6 models.

What mechanical prep is required before installation?

Always flush or replace the oil feed and return lines, clear the charge pipes of blow-by debris, perform fresh oil and filter service, and prime both center cartridges with clean engine oil prior to initial crank.

The Lincoln Performance Standard

Restoring boost integrity preserves the whisper-quiet highway composure, brisk passing power, and check-engine-light-free reliability expected from Lincoln's flagship twin-turbo platform.
