New Toyota Hilux Turbo – Ref. 9B015

Identifying the correct turbo reference for your Toyota Hilux

Before ordering a new turbo for your Toyota Hilux, it is essential to check the reference marked on the plate or housing of the old turbo fitted to your vehicle. Several generations of turbos have been used on the Hilux depending on the engine and production period, and only an exact match of references guarantees a trouble-free fitment. The main reference 9B015 corresponds to a turbo compatible with the OEM reference 17201-0L020, also identified as 1720130040 and T91CAT-S0016B.

Compatible engine on the Toyota Hilux

This new turbo is compatible with the Toyota Hilux fitted with the 2.5 D-4D diesel engine, engine code 2KD-FTV. This unit, widely used across the commercial and pick-up versions of the Hilux, relies heavily on correct boost pressure to deliver its low-rev torque, making a properly functioning turbo particularly important on this engine when used in heavy-duty or off-road conditions. We strongly recommend that you always confirm the reference on your old turbo before placing an order, to avoid any compatibility errors.

Exchange basis and warranty for this Hilux turbo

Payment for your order can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments.

Advice before and during fitment

On a 2KD-FTV engine, premature turbo failure most commonly results from a lubrication fault caused by poor-quality oil, missed oil changes, or a clogged air filter allowing contaminants to reach the compressor wheel. A cracked or fouled intercooler can also disrupt turbo operation by altering the intake air pressure. Before fitting the new turbo, check the condition of the oil circuit, the lubrication hoses and the air intake, and always pre-lubricate the turbo with oil before the first engine start to ensure immediate bearing lubrication.
