Starting at low prices, AutoBuffy stocks multiple turbocharger mounting kits from top OE-quality brands for the International Genesis Re. A turbocharger mounting kit contains the hardware — studs, nuts, gaskets, and flanges — that secures the turbo to the exhaust manifold and oil feed lines. When these components fail, exhaust leaks, oil leaks, and boost loss follow quickly, putting the turbocharger itself at risk.
The most important decision is whether you need a full hardware-and-gasket kit or a gaskets-only set, and whether the grade of hardware matches your use case. Turbocharged engines run extreme heat cycles that cause standard hardware to seize or stretch, so material quality matters more here than on most other fasteners.
| Option | Best for | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| OEM-equivalent complete kit | Daily drivers and stock replacements where fit and long-term reliability are the priority | Matched studs, nuts, and multi-layer steel or composite gaskets engineered to factory specifications |
| Performance-grade hardware kit | Modified engines or vehicles running elevated boost levels beyond factory output | High-alloy studs and locking nuts rated for higher clamping load and thermal fatigue resistance |
| Gaskets-only kit | Rebuilds where original hardware is undamaged and only sealing surfaces need to be renewed | Turbo inlet, outlet, and oil feed gaskets without fasteners, reducing cost when hardware is reusable |
| Full turbo installation kit | Complete turbo replacements or rebuilds where all contact hardware is being refreshed at once | Comprehensive set including exhaust flange gaskets, oil feed and return line gaskets, V-band clamps, and all fasteners in one package |
The most time-consuming part of this job is removing corroded or seized studs from the exhaust manifold without snapping them — applying penetrating oil and allowing soak time before attempting removal is essential. Once all old hardware is out, clean the mating surfaces thoroughly, chase the threads, and install new studs and gaskets before torquing fasteners in a cross pattern to the manufacturer's specification. Reinstalling coolant and oil lines before starting the engine and allowing idle time before driving under load gives the new gaskets time to seat properly.
