NEW FROM GARRETT Colorado MY14+ Turbocharger released Garrett Advancing Motion has just launched the Holden Colorado 2.8L MY14- XLDE replacement turbocharger 901994-5001S to the aftermarket. It says this new release delivers all of the quality you would expect from the OE manufacturer. The 9019944-5001S turbocharger is a direct fit replacement for 814067-0005, 814067-0004, 814067-0003, 814067-0002 and 8140670001. Garrett says this product offers the same performance, same intricate calibration and same whole-life advantages – but with none of the risks associated with poor-quality copy turbos sold around the world as supposed substitutes.
Product analysis was recently undertaken by Garrett – Advancing Motion, comparing original quality Garrett turbos with remanufactured VNT turbos using non-original components and copy turbos. Garrett says this research showed its marketleading Garrett turbos deliver significantly better whole-life value than lower-cost non-genuine alternatives when taking into account reliability, performance, fuel efficiency and longevity. Garrett warns that some copy turbos fail literally within hours of installation and the effects can be catastrophic. While bearing problems are most commonplace, it says the bolts joining the turbine housing to the centre housing are also known to ‘relax’, leading to gas leakage, mechanical damage and oil leakage which can in turn contaminate the catalytic converter or the DPF system. As such, the company says you should “insist on Garrett.” It states that every Garrett turbo distributed through the global Aftermarket meets the specifications demanded by the original car and truck manufacturer.

The new Penrite Purple OEM coolant is approved for use in VAG (Volkswagen Automotive Group) vehicles such as Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, and Porsche where the new TL 774-L/G12evo specifications are required.

Penrite explains that its new OEM Purple Coolants are designed for modern “downsized,” high power density, hotter running engines used
in the latest generation of passenger cars as well as in many other engines. The extended long-life inhibitor formulation reportedly prevents rust, corrosion, cavitation, and degradation of the cooling system for eight years or 500,000km. Since 1926, Penrite says its products have helped shape the country. Penrite has remained a 100 percent Australian owned and operated business, which says it is committed to producing the best lubricants, coolants, and additives; made right here in Australia.
