⚠️ Cartridge Only — Reuse Your Turbo Housings

This product is the assembled turbocharger center section. Reuse the original GT3782VA compressor and turbine housings, and inspect them for cracks, wheel-contact damage, and other defects before assembly. Source any required installation hardware, gaskets, and O-rings separately.

7+7 Cast Compressor Wheel

The SL-200-020 uses the SPOOLOGIC SL-220-010 compressor wheel. The cast aluminum wheel is selected for stock-replacement operation in the listed GT3782VA configuration.

• Compressor wheel: SL-220-010
• Blade design: 7+7
• Compressor inducer: 59.12 mm
• Compressor exducer: 82 mm
• Material: Cast aluminum
• Installation: Supplied installed as part of the balanced CHRA

Turbine Shaft

The turbine wheel is welded to the shaft as a single rotating unit.

• Turbine wheel: High-nickel Inconel
• Turbine blade count: 10
• Turbine inducer: 72.5 mm
• Turbine exducer: 66.4 mm

Wheel dimensions are nominal OEM dimensions for the GT3782VA turbocharger; small measurement differences can result from production tolerances and measurement technique.

Upgraded Internals — Standard

Each cartridge includes upgraded internal components for shaft support, axial loads, and oil control.

• Extreme-duty journal bearings and spacer: Support the turbocharger shaft and its lubricating oil film
• 360-degree thrust bearing and collars: Provide full-circle thrust-bearing support for axial shaft loads
• Step-gap seal rings: Installed at the compressor and turbine ends to help control oil leakage

High-Speed VSR Balancing

The complete CHRA—including the compressor wheel, turbine shaft, bearings, thrust components, and seals—is assembled in the SPOOLOGIC center housing and high-speed VSR balanced before shipment. Keep the compressor wheel, shaft, and rotating components assembled during installation to preserve that balance. The supplied CHRA requires no internal rebuild before installation; the outer housings still require inspection, correct alignment, and proper assembly.

Installation Notes

• Match the cartridge to the existing GT3782VA turbo, compressor housing, and turbine housing before disassembly.
• Inspect the housings and variable-geometry mechanism for wear, corrosion, binding, and damage before reuse.
• Follow the applicable service procedures for cleaning, housing alignment and clocking, bolt tightening, oil-system preparation, and initial startup.
• Keep the rotating assembly intact. Do not loosen the compressor-wheel nut during housing installation.
• Verify free wheel rotation, correct VGT operation, and absence of oil, intake, and exhaust leaks before returning the vehicle to service.
