🔌 Function

  

The turbocharger uses exhaust pressure to compress incoming air, increasing cylinder air charge and allowing the engine to produce its rated torque and power.

  

Common signs of turbocharger failure:

  

• Reduced engine power

• Excessive black exhaust smoke

• Blue smoke and oil consumption

• Turbocharger whistle or grinding noise

• Oil visible in the intake piping

• Excessive shaft movement

• Turbine or compressor housing corrosion

• Engine will not reach normal loaded rpm

  

Installation considerations:

  

• Check the original turbocharger identification plate

• Replace engine oil and filter

• Inspect the turbo oil-feed and drain lines

• Clean the intake manifold and aftercooler where fitted

• Inspect the exhaust manifold and elbow

• Prime the turbo bearing housing before starting

• Replace the mounting and oil-pipe gaskets

• Check for saltwater or exhaust corrosion around the turbine housing
