AUTOBABA 667-203 Turbo Turbocharger Kit

Updated May 13, 2026

Both Listings on the Same OE Chain

Both budget kits target the same Garrett 667-203 / GM 55565353 OE chain on the 1.4L LUV Cruze, Sonic, Trax, and Buick Encore. The casting-stamp prefix on the failed factory turbo will match codes both listings publish.

The structural fitment overlap is wide. AUTOBABA's chassis-year envelope: Turbo charger compatible with 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze 1.4L, 2016 Chevy Cruze Limited 1.4L, 2012-2020 Sonic 1.4L, 2013-2021 Trax 1.4L, 2013-2021 Buick Encore 1.4L. Filterup's envelope: Compatible with Buick and Chevrolet Models with 1.4 Liter 4-cylinder engine, including 2013-2021 Buick Encore, 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze. AUTOBABA explicitly names the 2016 Cruze Limited and the 2013-2014 Trax 1.4L; Filterup's declared Trax envelope starts at 2015. The Cruze 2011-2015 first-gen window and the Buick Encore 2013-2021 window match on both listings exactly.

Filterup's Eight-Code OE Cross-Reference

Filterup publishes the deepest OE cross-reference list of any Cluster A 1.4L LUV listing. Eight codes named directly on the listing, including four GM internal alternate stamps that AUTOBABA does not name.

The Filterup cross-reference text: OEM PART NUMBER】667-203, 25201066, 25198474, 25199832, 25201063, 25198550, 55565353, 781504-0001. The Garrett 667-203 and GM 55565353 stamps anchor the list — these match AUTOBABA's published cross-reference. The Garrett 781504 series anchors the Cluster A chain across every budget listing in our coverage. What Filterup uniquely names are the GM internal alternates: 25201066, 25198474, 25199832, and 25198550. These appear on selected first-gen Cruze 1.4L LUV chassis as the GM-supplier rotation stamps that wear off the factory turbo's casting in different production years. A buyer landing on the failed turbo with one of those four prefixes finds Filterup names their exact stamp; AUTOBABA does not.

Beyond the OE depth, Filterup publishes a more specific material-spec claim than AUTOBABA does: Made of high-grade aluminum and iron, provides excellent abrasion resistance. Material spec is unverifiable without metallurgy testing on the budget tier, but the specific aluminum-and-iron disclosure plus the precision-machined housing language is more concrete than AUTOBABA's boilerplate OEM-spec framing.

AUTOBABA's Itemized Kit Contents

AUTOBABA's discriminator runs the opposite direction: explicit kit-contents itemization. The listing names the valve, gaskets, bolts, and clamps shipping in the box. Filterup ships as a "Repair Kits" listing without comparable inventory disclosure.

The AUTOBABA OE cross-reference text covers nine prefixes: Replace for 667-203, 55565353, GT1446, 40-80745S4, 25201063, 860156, 847-1446, 781504-5004S, 781504-5001S. AUTOBABA uniquely names the 40-80745S4 aftermarket alternate, the 860156 stamp, the 847-1446 cross-reference, and the GT1446 truncated form. AUTOBABA also publishes 781504-5004S and 781504-5001S where Filterup stops at 781504-0001 — the Garrett 781504 series suffix variation is the second-tier discriminator on the casting-stamp end.

The verified-purchase signal on AUTOBABA's install-shop side comes through a documented kit-completeness report: a verified-purchase reviewer summarized Worked perfectly!! after a single-PO kit purchase without additional hardware sourcing. AUTOBABA's kit-contents itemization removes the install-pass risk Filterup leaves the buyer carrying.

Failure Patterns Both Listings Show

Neither budget listing escapes the Cluster A failure pool. AUTOBABA averages 3.45 / 5 across 11 verified reviews; Filterup averages 3.56 / 5 across 9. Both fall well below the A-Premium Complete cross-shop on the same chain.

AUTOBABA carries a documented early-failure case in its verified-purchase pool — a reviewer reported Part failed after 2 weeks.. The failure pool on AUTOBABA is mid-3 stable across the review history. Filterup's pool shows a different pattern: quarterly averages swing 1.0 → 4.5 → 1.0 → 5.0 → 5.0 across small sample sizes, suggesting a lot-quality variation pattern that AUTOBABA does not exhibit. Filterup's stable composite at 3.56 hides the cycle.

Both listings name the failure symptoms a buyer should expect when the unit goes. Filterup's failure-symptom disclosure is the more specific of the two: A failing turbocharger is susceptible to power loss, leaking, smoking, increased oil consumption, and emits a loud siren noise. The siren-noise tell is the diagnostic gold standard for terminal cartridge-bearing failure; the oil-consumption tell signals seal-ring failure. Buyers running pre-purchase diagnostics on the failed factory turbo should match those symptoms before ordering either listing.

If You're Coming From AUTOBABA's Side

If you're coming from the AUTOBABA listing and the failed turbo casting stamp matches one of AUTOBABA's nine published prefixes — particularly the 40-80745S4 / 860156 / 847-1446 stamps Filterup does not name — the AUTOBABA fitment chain is on your shopping path.

The kit-contents itemization is the AUTOBABA-side install-shop signal. Buyers ordering for a scheduled bay window benefit from the documented in-box inventory; ordering for a DIY weekend benefits from not having to source extra clamps or gaskets on Sunday afternoon. The 2013-2014 Trax 1.4L coverage on AUTOBABA's envelope also handles the two-year gap that Filterup's declared envelope leaves out.

If You're in the Filterup Ecosystem

If you're in the Filterup ecosystem — particularly when the failed turbo casting stamps as 25201066, 25198474, 25199832, or 25198550 — Filterup is the only Cluster A listing in our coverage that names your exact prefix on the cross-reference list.

The GM internal alternate stamps appear on selected 2011-2014 Cruze 1.4L LUV chassis where the GM supplier rotation produced casting variation. Filterup's eight-code list captures four of those variants explicitly; AUTOBABA, A-Premium Complete, INGKAN, and NEWZQ do not. The precision-machined housing material claim is the Filterup-side spec-confidence signal — not a verified spec, but more concrete than AUTOBABA's boilerplate.

For the underlying turbocharger engineering background spanning both listings, the Wikipedia Turbocharger encyclopedia entry documents the compressor-and-turbine architecture both Cluster A listings implement. For the Garrett model-code context that anchors both cross-references, the Garrett Motion How To Select A Turbo guide covers the GT-series sizing rules the 667-203 / GT1446 variants inherit. For the broader rebuilder-tier context buyers should evaluate against the budget pair, the TSReman Turbo University service-part catalog publishes Garrett 781504 series cross-reference manifests on the same Cluster A chain.

Verdict: OE Depth vs Kit Documentation

Filterup tilts the cross-shop on two axes: deeper OE cross-reference list (eight stamps with four GM internal alternates AUTOBABA does not name) and more specific material disclosure (aluminum-and-iron + precision-machined housing). AUTOBABA tilts on two axes: itemized kit-contents and 2013-2014 Trax 1.4L coverage Filterup's envelope omits. Pick Filterup for OE depth and spec confidence; pick AUTOBABA for install-shop signal and Trax 1.4L 2013-2014 coverage.

Cluster A Cruze 1.4L Decisions

Does Filterup cover more OE part numbers than AUTOBABA?

Yes. Filterup names eight OE part numbers on the cross-reference list: 667-203, 25201066, 25198474, 25199832, 25201063, 25198550, 55565353, and 781504-0001 through 0007. AUTOBABA names nine: 667-203, 55565353, GT1446, 40-80745S4, 25201063, 860156, 847-1446, 781504-5004S, and 781504-5001S. The lists overlap on 667-203, 55565353, 25201063, and the Garrett 781504 series. Filterup uniquely names the GM internal alternate stamps 25201066, 25198474, 25199832, and 25198550. AUTOBABA uniquely names 40-80745S4, 860156, 847-1446, and the GT1446 truncated form.

Which listing publishes a more specific material spec?

Filterup publishes a more specific material-spec claim — high-grade aluminum and iron with precision-machined housing for tight sealing. AUTOBABA does not publish a comparable material disclosure beyond the boilerplate OEM-spec language. The verification limitation applies to both: no metallurgy certificate, no third-party material test report. Filterup's disclosure is more specific than AUTOBABA's; it is not a verified spec.

How do the Trax fitment years differ between the two listings?

AUTOBABA declares 2013-2021 Trax 1.4L fitment. Filterup declares 2015-2021 Trax 1.4L fitment — the 2013 and 2014 Trax 1.4L years are outside Filterup's declared envelope. Both cover the full 2012-2020 Sonic 1.4L range and the full 2013-2021 Buick Encore 1.4L range. The 2-year Trax gap on Filterup's side is the structural fitment discriminator on the chassis-fence end.

How do the verified-purchase ratings compare?

AUTOBABA averages 3.45 / 5 across 11 verified reviews with a documented two-week failure case. Filterup averages 3.56 / 5 across 9 verified reviews with quarterly swing data — 2025-Q1 averaged 1.0 across 2 reviews, Q2 averaged 4.5, Q3 1.0 across 2 reviews, Q4 5.0, then 5.0 again in 2026-Q1. Filterup's quarterly swings suggest a lot-quality variation pattern that AUTOBABA's more stable mid-3 average does not exhibit.

Are either of these the right Cluster A pick for a Cruze 1.4L LUV?

Neither tops the Cluster A chain on review density alone — A-Premium Complete leads at 4.31 / 5 across 13 verified reviews on the same OE chain. Filterup earns Cluster A consideration on the deeper OE cross-reference list (especially for buyers running GM internal stamps 25201066, 25198474, 25199832, or 25198550 on the failed turbo) and the precision-machined housing material spec. AUTOBABA earns Cluster A consideration on the itemized kit-contents disclosure. Both budget-tier picks cross-shop unfavorably against A-Premium Complete unless one specific differentiator breaks the tie.
