Paccar MX-13 2842125 Holset EPA10 Remanufactured Turbocharger
Precision Remanufacturing for EPA10 MX-13 Performance
This Turbo Kings remanufactured Holset HE500VG turbocharger is engineered specifically for the Paccar MX-13 EPA10 platform, restoring OEM performance, response, and durability. The EPA10 versions of the MX-13 rely heavily on precise VGT vane control and proper exhaust energy management, making the remanufacturing process more demanding than standard fixed-geometry units. Our process ensures every turbo leaves our facility operating at factory-grade efficiency with strong low-end torque, smooth mid-range power, and stable boost across all load conditions.
VGT Mechanism Restoration & Calibration
Variable Geometry Technology is the heart of the EPA10 MX-13 turbo system. The HE500VG’s vane unison ring, nozzle assembly, sliding components, and vane pockets are subjected to intense heat cycles and carbon loading over their service life. Turbo Kings fully disassembles and restores these mechanisms using high-temperature blasting, precision machining, and controlled clearances for smooth, bind-free operation.
Each actuator mount surface is inspected for flatness, and the internal VGT components are tested on our calibration bench to ensure correct vane sweep, repeatability, and position feedback compatibility with the truck’s factory electronic actuator.
Compressor, Turbine & Housing Integrity
The compressor wheel, turbine wheel, and cartridge assembly are matched, balanced, and assembled to strict tolerances:
High-speed VSR balancing
Shaft-end play and thrust load verification
Journal and thrust bearing system renewal
Seal plate resurfacing
Oil passage cleaning & flow testing
The turbine housing and “hot side” are inspected for warping, cracking, and exhaust flange conformity—common failure points in high-mile MX-13 fleets. Any out-of-spec housing is replaced to guarantee stable boost, proper vane operation, and longevity.
What Makes Turbo Kings Remanufacturing Different
Turbo Kings applies a true engineering-based rebuild standard, not a cosmetic refresh. Every HE500VG is processed the same way—fleet-grade, repeatable, and tested:
High-temperature media cleaning
Full cartridge replacement or overhaul
Precision VGT mechanism recut where needed
True vane travel calibration
Pressure testing for leaks and flow consistency
Final balance at operating RPM
Visual and mechanical inspection signed off before packaging
Your turbo arrives ready for installation with no core surprises, no hidden issues, and the correct EPA10 geometry.
