THESE are some of the WORST turbocharged engines of all time.
Let us be clear - not all of these engines are 'bad' because they're poorly designed - and it's not like most of them can't be made reliable.
And, some of these are capable of making HUGE power!
With all that said, these are a few engines you might want to think twice about before plopping down your hard earned cash and sticking one in your driveway.

The revised N63TU is actually quite good. Although it is still called N63, it's a completely different engine. In fact, so good that it's still used to this day on 50i vehicles, albeit with a few updates over the years for the turbos. All problems lay in the pre-14 OG N63, which is what the care package aimed to solve.

From my experience the revised TSI engines that came with the MK7 Golf have been pretty reliable. The older 1.8/2.0 and twin charged 1.4 are particularly crap though. I don’t even understand what the point even was with the turbo- and supercharged 1.4 in the end. They ended up making a turbo only 1.4 with pretty much the same power while being way more reliable and no, it wasn’t laggy either.

Yeah the EA888 has been revised a few times since the Golf MK5 and VW has pretty much solved just about every single major issue, still may be the odd problem or so but generally the modern ones handle power well and don’t give much trouble. The engine is found in quite a few VWs and Audis

I.e. oil consumption due to bad rings was a gen 2 problem, worn camshafts from the HPFP plunger was a gen 1 problem, most of the others occur in both motors. The 2014 revision is the EA888 gen 3.

Your info on the 2.2 isn't accurate at all. I've owned 3 of them: 86' 2.2 Turbo 1 88' 2.2 Turbo 1 89' 2.2 Shelby Turbo 2 T1's produce around 142hp, while the T2 produced 175hp. The T1 is a turbocharger, T2 adds an intercooler, T3 doubles the valves and is DOHC. Each variation has upgraded internals. Your claim that there is no difference to the turbo charged engines is 100% incorrect. All of this information is plainly available on their Wikipedia page, it isn't even that hard to find. Finally, the headgasket issues are mostly due to coolant flow issues, as these engines are restrictive to cylinder 4, where a lot of these failures occur. That said, in my experience they have been incredibly robust little engines. My 88' was the first one I got, bought the car for $100 and it probably hadn't been maintained since the 90's. Thing not only ran but still held boost, a quick tune up and a resell and it's still running today.

The engine is 1.5l ohv with a carburetor (rally cars, of course, better camshaft, head porting, etc.). Road versions reached 95-106hp (n/a about 75hp), rally 190Hp. Both versions had a very large turbo for such a small engine capacity. It was a communist copy of the KKK K26 or even K27.

You could add navistar maxxforce 11 and 13 to that list. I wouldn't have a truck in my fleet with that engine if it was given to me for free. Yes they are that bad.

Man, hard for me to believe you guys skipped over the G54b. Makes a bmw look like Honda for reliability.

The 6.0 and 6.4 Powerstrokes? Weren't the Ram EcoDiesels also trash?

I'm surprised the N54 didn't make it here, since it was BMW's first mass-produced turbocharged engine and is usually bashed for its unreliability, though the N63 is arguably worse lol.

My 1.6 TGdi engine cracked a Ringland, at 75k miles, might have been my fault but still that shouldn't happen.

Just wanted to say, my father owned a Shelby omni glh with the 2.2 turbo and it was honestly one of the most beat on and reliable car i think he's ever owned.. Raced more v8s than I can count but then again he let it cool down between runs because he knew better. Probably just his mechanical knowledge that kept it reliable but nonetheless.. I wish he never got rid of it.

As an Ase certified tech who worked for Vw/ Audi 8 years I approve of this list! But I would like to add the shitty ford eco boost 1.6-2.0 turbo motors that they put in the focus, fusion, escape land rovers evoque , and even the jaguar xe, what a pile of 💩 those are ! Even the v6 eco boost in the f150 suck🥶

I’m a big Honda & Toyota guy but what Honda did was by far one of the dumbest things ever seen they took one of the most reliable engines in the world the the 3.5L v6 on the Accord with 277 HP and replaced it with a 1.5l turbocharged 4cyl making 195hp and getting the same fuel economy and 82 less horsepower way to go Honda u nailed it there

Maserati engines aren't that unreliable, it's just that people do NOT know how to maintain them. The real problem was the cooling
