FAQs About the 2013 Ford Edge 2.0L Turbocharger Replacement
1. Is this the correct turbo for my 2016 Chevy Malibu with the 2.0L engine?
Yes, absolutely. This Elecdurauto unit is the definitive, direct-fit replacement for the 2016 Chevy Malibu equipped with the 2.0L LTG 4-cylinder engine. It's engineered to meet or exceed all original factory specifications for a seamless installation.
2. Which other vehicles use this same 2.0L LTG turbocharger?
This is a high-demand part covering GM's premier performance lineup. It is also the correct replacement turbo for the Chevrolet Camaro (2.0L), Cadillac ATS (2.0L), Cadillac CTS (2.0L), and Buick Regal (2.0L), making it a versatile and essential part for any shop servicing modern GM vehicles.
3. What are the most common signs that my original Malibu turbo is failing?
The GM 2.0L LTG engine turbo has very specific failure symptoms. Look for a significant loss of acceleration, a P0299 "Underboost" check engine light code, and often a faulty electronic wastegate actuator that can cause surging or inconsistent power delivery. A high-pitched whining noise is also a clear indicator of internal damage.
4. How does this Elecdurauto turbo solve the original factory flaws?
We engineered this turbo to be a permanent solution. It features a brand new, pre-calibrated electronic wastegate actuator to eliminate the common electronic failures. Furthermore, we utilize upgraded high-temperature alloys in the turbine housing to resist the cracking and warping that plague the stock units under intense heat cycles.
5. Which specific OE part numbers does this unit replace?
This turbocharger is a direct, cross-compatible replacement for the most common General Motors (GM) OE part numbers for the LTG engine, including 12669064, 12652494, 12674753, and 12664432. Ordering this part guarantees you have the correct fitment.
6. What exactly comes in the box with my order?
You receive a complete, ready-to-install assembly. This includes the full turbocharger with its integrated exhaust manifold, the pre-installed electronic wastegate actuator, and a comprehensive set of new, high-temperature mounting gaskets and seals. No need to source extra parts.
7. Is this turbocharger difficult to install? Any professional tips?
For a qualified mechanic, this is an intermediate-level job. The key "pro-tip" for any GM LTG engine is to inspect and clean carbon buildup from the intake valves during the turbo replacement. As a direct-injection engine, carbon accumulation is common and can impact the performance of your new turbo.
8. Is this turbocharger suitable for a performance ECU tune?
While designed as a robust OE-quality replacement, this turbo is built to last. Its durable construction and reliable electronic actuator can safely handle the increased boost pressures from a mild "Stage 1" or "Stage 2" ECU tune, providing a solid foundation for enhanced, reliable performance.
9. What kind of warranty and quality assurance do you offer?
Every Elecdurauto turbo is backed by our comprehensive 18-month, unlimited mileage warranty for your peace of mind. To ensure unmatched quality, each unit undergoes a rigorous VSR high-speed balancing process to eliminate vibrations and guarantee quiet, long-lasting operation from the moment it's installed.
10. Do you offer wholesale pricing for repair shops and distributors?
Yes, absolutely. Elecdurauto is structured to be a premier partner for B2B clients. We offer competitive wholesale pricing, private labeling options, custom packaging, and streamlined logistics for our global partners who need a reliable source for this high-demand GM 2.0L LTG turbocharger.
