        The turbocharger system is designed to increase the power and efficiency of your motor by utilizing a component called a turbocharger. The turbocharger compresses ambient air and routes it to the engine for combustion. The engine converts the highly dense charge of air into an increased level of torque and horsepower. The turbocharger spins at very high speeds, upwards of 100K RPMs! The seals of the turbocharger can only handle this high velocity and temperature for so long before they fail. When the turbo seals fail, it will cause oil to enter the motor and burn, potentially causing damage to exhaust components and lowering the efficiency of the turbocharger itself. Replace your turbocharger today to ensure a healthy, long lasting motor. The boost pressure solenoid valve controls the amount of pressure that is allowed to be built up in the turbocharger. If the turbocharger’s boost level isn’t at what it should be, either lower or higher than the pre-programmed boost level set at the factory, replace the boost pressure solenoid to ensure that an over boost condition doesn’t occur.  The turbocharger bypass valve is another crucial part of the turbo system that allows boost pressure to be bled when you let off the gas. When the bypass valve fails, you will hear a fluttering sound emanating from the turbocharger. A damaged bypass valve should be replaced immediately to ensure that turbocharger damage does not occur.

Turbo System Diagnosis & Repair:

• A blown or worn out turbo will result in a substantial loss in power, some of the symptoms include loss of boost pressure, turbo noise, increased oil consumption, fouled spark plugs and excessive smoking on diesel engines.
• When turbo seals fail, it will cause oil to enter the motor and burn, potentially causing damage to exhaust components and lowering the efficiency of the turbocharger itself. Replace your turbocharger to ensure a healthy, long lasting motor.
• Cracked and worn turbo hoses can prevent you from reaching desired boost levels; damaged turbo gaskets can also cause a similar problem.
