NO CORE DEPOSIT REQUIRED, AS THIS TURBO IS BRAND NEW AND SOLD OUTRIGHT.
IMPORTANT:
One of the biggest issues and causes of failure with higher mileage V6 engines is oil starvation at the center cartridge of the turbocharger. The oil feed and return passages are housed inside the cast iron pedestal/support stand that the turbo sits on. Mercedes Benz dealers automatically replace this every time that they do a turbocharger replacement. The passageways inside this become restricted over time, due to "oil coking". (Google: Engine Oil Coking) The turbo rotates at up to 280,000 RPM's and you do not want a lubrication problem at this point of your engine, as it will cause premature failure of the turbocharger. You can see the support stand and the two related gaskets that are used with this below.
We strongly suggest that you replace this support stand and gaskets when replacing your turbocharger, otherwise you risk quick failure of your new turbo.

NO CORE DEPOSIT REQUIRED, AS THIS TURBO IS BRAND NEW AND SOLD OUTRIGHT. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE BY BUYING A NEW TURBO AND NOT A REMANUFACTURED UNIT. REBUILT TURBOS ARE RARELY OF GOOD QUALITY AND SELDOM LAST VERY LONG.
