The LM440 hybrid turbocharger based on the IS38 is the perfect solution for anyone looking to extract between 400 and 440 hp from their 2.0TSI EA888 engine. With impressive performance and everyday usability, this turbocharger offers an outstanding all-round package that is second to none.

Performance and drivability:
The LM440 turbocharger delivers a peak power of approximately 440 hp, with maximum torque of over 500 Nm available as low as 2,500 to 3,000 rpm. This combination ensures excellent everyday usability and unparalleled drivability. The turbocharger manufacturer uses the proven housing and adjustment units of the original IS38 turbocharger, but optimizes them for a significantly larger turbine and a powerful compressor wheel.

High-quality components:
The LM440 turbocharger features a completely new core assembly with extremely strong bearings, based on a Mitsubishi turbocharger, which is precisely tailored to the IHI IS38 housing. CNC-machined adapters allow the use of all original lines, making the turbo a 100% plug-and-play installation.

Versatile choice:
The LM440 is the ideal choice if you want to run your engine with typical "full-bolt-on" hardware while retaining the original pistons and connecting rods. For even higher performance, we recommend the LM500Gen2 or LM575.

Option 1: New Turbocharger
In this case, your existing turbocharger does not need to be sent in, as a completely new turbocharger will be delivered. You can keep your existing turbocharger.

Option 2: Rebuilt Turbocharger (Core Deposit - $1,980.00 + shipping)
Here, you send in your OE/OEM turbocharger, which will be rebuilt. This assumes that the turbocharger housing is not defective. See all details about core deposit requirements in the description below.

Please check the compatibility of your vehicle and engine before confirming your order. If your turbo doesn't match the part number below this is not for your vehicle. Refunds will not be given for incorrectly chosen products. If you are unsure about fitment, please contact us.

Ladermanufaktur GmbH stands behind their work and quality products by offering a 12-month warranty, giving you reassurance and confidence in your purchase.

Motorsport parts without road approval: We would like to explicitly point out that none of our parts offered for sale are original vehicle parts from the vehicle manufacturers BMW AG, M GmbH, MINI, VAG or other vehicle manufacturers. The naming of vehicle makes and models is only for the purpose of finding products and assigning them to the appropriate vehicle type.

A refundable core deposit is a temporary fee associated with Ladermanufaktur's remanufactured turbo upgrades. They use factory turbochargers as the base to build your custom upgrade, and in exchange, we require the return of your old turbocharger(s). You can choose to pay the deposit upfront and receive a full refund once you return your old turbocharger(s) within 30 days of receiving your upgrade. Alternatively, you can send in your turbocharger(s) for upgrading first and avoid the deposit altogether.

Core Deposit Process

After placing an order for a rebuilt turbocharger from Ladermanufaktur, we will contact you with further details. You will receive a follow-up invoice for the core deposit, which must be paid before we can purchase your turbocharger from Ladermanufaktur. This deposit reflects the difference in cost between rebuilt and new units and will be fully refunded once the core is returned and the refund is processed by Ladermanufaktur.

Customers may send in any turbocharger matching the part number listed in the compatibility section, regardless of condition, provided it is suitable for remanufacturing. Please note that turbochargers with visible damage or failed internal parts are unlikely to be reusable. Confirm your unit’s condition carefully to avoid paying for a fully remanufactured new unit while receiving a rebuilt older one.

You have the option to return your core directly to Ladermanufaktur or send it to us for handling on your behalf. If you choose to have us manage the return, an additional shipping fee will apply. To ensure your core is returned in optimal condition, please use the original box and packaging provided by Ladermanufaktur when you received your order.

DISCLAIMER: Please remove all additional accessories or hardware before sending in cores. Any remaining accessories or hardware will be discarded. Wastegate must stay attached if part of turbo housing.
