- Always change oil when replacing turbos
- Change air filters
- Check after treatment system for damage or clogs, blockages in after treatment & exhaust may lead to excessive back pressure which can lead to turbo seal damage & oil leaks.
- Pressure test charge air cooler
- Check CAC piping, hoses, & clamps for damage
- Check turbo oil lines for damage, leaks, & blockage. Insufficient oil flow can lead to overheating & damage to turbo.
- Check oil for contamination: Dirt, metal shavings, or other contaminants can cause excessive wear & damage to turbo internal components.
- Inspect for excessive carbon build up: carbon deposits can break off & cause turbo damage.
- Make any other engine repairs prior to turbo installation
- Avoid hot shutdowns, frequently shutting the engine down while hot can cause turbo to overheat & damage bearings.
- Excessive engine wear, high temps & speeds can lead to premature turbo failure, responsiveness issues, potential loss of power, or inability to regenerate
- Before replacing turbo, it’s imperative to diagnose the underlying cause of the failure to ensure the issue is resolved & prevent future failures or problems.
