Engine: Mitsubishi 4D56 / 4D56T, 2.5L TDI diesel, 131kW/115HP (per some listings)

Fitment / Compatible Vehicles:

• Mitsubishi L200, 2002–2007 (2.5L 4D56 TDI, Euro 3)
• Mitsubishi Pajero III / Montero, 2001–2007 (2.5L TD56T)
• Mitsubishi Shogun / Pajero (UK/EU market badge), 2001–2007

(These are all regional badge variants of the same Mitsubishi platform — Pajero/Montero/Shogun globally, L200/Triton in pickup form — sharing the 4D56 engine and TF035HL2 turbo.)

Product Overview:

This is a TF035HL2 variable-geometry turbocharger from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, engineered to OEM specifications for the 4D56/4D56T 2.5L diesel engine used across the L200, Pajero, Shogun, and Challenger platforms. As a VGT design, it uses an adjustable-vane mechanism to optimize boost delivery across the RPM range, improving low-end torque and throttle response while reducing turbo lag compared to fixed-geometry units. It restores factory performance for vehicles experiencing power loss, boost leaks, unusual noise, or VGT actuator faults — common issues as these turbos reach end of service life.

Key Features:

• OEM-Matched Fitment: Manufactured to match the mounting configuration, flange pattern, and VGT actuator linkage of the original 49135-02652 turbocharger for a direct bolt-on replacement.
• Variable Geometry Turbine (VGT) Technology: Adjustable vane positioning responds dynamically to engine load, delivering smoother, more responsive power across the RPM range versus non-VGT designs.
• Water-Cooled Design: Matches the factory water-cooled bearing housing specification for improved thermal management and long-term durability.
• Precision-Machined Components: Compressor and turbine wheels built to OEM dimensional tolerances for smooth operation and reliable boost control.
• Restores Lost Power & Throttle Response: Addresses common symptoms of a worn or failing VGT turbo — sluggish acceleration, weak top-end power, and boost inconsistency.
• Broad Regional Coverage: Fits L200/Pajero/Shogun/Challenger across multiple regional badges, useful for sellers serving global markets.
• Warranty: Typically 90 days to 1 year manufacturer warranty depending on supplier (confirm specific terms with your listing).

Before You Buy:

Please confirm the part number stamped on your original turbocharger (49135-02652 / MR968080) against your vehicle’s exact engine code (4D56 vs. 4D56T) and production year, since Pajero/L200/Shogun turbo applications can vary slightly by market and model year. Let us know your vehicle’s VIN or chassis number if you’d like help verifying exact compatibility before ordering.
