Parts We Actually Recommend

Every part on this page is hand-picked based on real shop experience. OEM and trusted aftermarket options with honest notes on what to buy and why.

“Bad parts cost more in the long run — comebacks, repeat failures, and the labour to replace them again. Every part here is something I'd spec on a van I care about.”

PRO SERIES
Engine & Intake

OM642 Turbo Resonator Upgrade Kit — Pro Series

Install Difficulty: Beginner45–90 minutes
NCV32007–2018OM642

$219.00

Billet 6061-T6 aluminum CNC-machined replacement for the factory plastic turbo resonator. Eliminates the most common cause of boost leaks and limp mode on the OM642. Built to outlast the van.

Kit Includes:

  • 6061-T6 billet aluminum resonator body (hard anodized, matte black)
  • 2x 3-ply silicone coupler hoses (63mm, black)
  • 4x stainless T-bolt clamps
  • Step-by-step install guide with QR code to HowToVan install video
  • HowToVan branded packaging

This replaces the exact part that causes P0299 boost pressure codes and limp mode on 2007-2018 Sprinters. The OEM plastic version splits at the seams — usually around 100-150k miles. This one won't.

Commonly fixes: P0299 — Turbocharger Underboost

TRAIL SERIES
Engine & Intake

OM642 Turbo Resonator Upgrade Kit — Trail Series

Install Difficulty: Beginner45–90 minutes
NCV32007–2018OM642

$89.00

Heavy-duty glass-filled nylon replacement for the factory turbo resonator. A significant upgrade over OEM at a fraction of the Pro Series price. Same silicone hoses, same stainless clamps.

Kit Includes:

  • PA66-GF30 glass-filled nylon resonator body
  • 2x 2-ply silicone coupler hoses (63mm, black)
  • 4x stainless worm-drive clamps
  • Step-by-step install guide with QR code to HowToVan install video
  • HowToVan branded packaging

If the Pro Series is out of your budget right now, this is still a massive upgrade over the OEM plastic part. Glass-filled nylon handles heat and pressure far better than the factory unit.

Commonly fixes: P0299 — Turbocharger Underboost

In Production — Pre-Order Available
