Smart vehicles — including the Fortwo and Forfour — are engineered for efficient city driving and compact maneuverability. Certain Smart models, particularly those equipped with gasoline engines, employed small turbochargers to increase power and responsiveness without sacrificing fuel economy or urban agility.
When a Smart turbocharger begins to fail, drivers may experience reduced power, hesitation under acceleration, unusual high-pitched noises, excessive exhaust smoke, boosted fuel consumption, or check engine warnings. A tested used Smart turbocharger restores factory boost characteristics with significant savings compared to new OEM parts.
Whether you drive a Fortwo Turbo or a Forfour Turbo, we help you get reliable boost and driving confidence back on the road.
A turbocharger uses exhaust energy to spin a turbine that drives a compressor, forcing extra air into the engine. This increased airflow allows the engine to burn more fuel efficiently, resulting in increased torque and horsepower from a small displacement engine — ideal for lightweight Smart cars.
Primary functions include:
Failing turbochargers can severely reduce performance and drivability.
Each used Smart turbocharger undergoes a thorough inspection:
Only turbochargers meeting OEM performance standards are approved for sale.
