MAHLE Aftermarket’s BMTS Turbocharger

The BMW Three-Cylinder Diesel turbocharger fulfils the requirements for engine efficiency and performance, as the trend to ‘downsize’ engines continues

MAHLE Aftermarket’s BMTS Turbocharger

Specially designed for the 1.5-litre BMW three-cylinder diesel engine, Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems (BMTS) has developed a performance-oriented exhaust turbocharger with variable turbine geometry (VTG), which is also extremely efficient, reducing fuel consumption.

The optimised blade design of the VTG, allied with a low-friction bearing, lend the engine spontaneous response behaviour, especially in the low speed range, delivering a broad torque plateau. Thanks to the electrical control of the guide vanes, a significantly lower hysteresis is achieved and faster adjustment made possible.

The demands on the acoustic and dynamic behaviour of the turbocharger are especially high in the premium segment, which is why the BMTS VTG turbocharger is equipped with particularly low-noise, weight-optimised actuating elements with plastic bushings in the coupling rod, a floating bush bearing with acoustic package and a milled impeller, for less pulsation noise.

At St. Michael in Austria, BMTS has set up state-of-the-art production facilities in order to implement high technology standards in large-scale production. Its end-of-line testing allows the manufacturing parameters and balancing values of each turbocharger to be checked in a fully automated process.

This has established the high quality of the finished BMTS turbocharger, which in BMW’s so-called misuse tests, survived all the tests completely unscathed.

Together with BMW, BMTS has also developed a new packaging concept for the finished turbochargers. Instead of sealing the openings of the turbocharger, as was done previously, the exhaust gas turbocharger is placed on a support and completely enclosed with a plastic casing to protect it against contamination and make it easier to handle
