Turbochargers Are Made For Longevity, With Minimal Failures Resulting From Manufacturing Defects. However, At Least 90% Of Turbocharger Failures Are Due To External Factors Such As Oil Starvation, Contamination, Or Foreign Object Damage.
Important: Before Installing a Replacement Turbo, YOU MUST DIAGNOSE The Cause Of The Original Turbo Failure. Failing To Address The Underlying Issue Will Lead To The Premature Failure Of The New Turbo.
What Can Cause Foreign Object Damage?
- Injector Tips Melting Off.
- Glow Plugs Melting Off.
- Piton Ringlands.
- Exhaust Valves Chipping.
- Excessive Carbon On Inlet Side Of The Head.
- Dirty Or No Airfilter.
- Remains Of A Previous Turbo Failure.
How To Prevent Future Issues?

- Replace Glow Plugs every 100,000KM
- Regular Airfilter Changes.
- Clean Inlet Manifold Every 100,000KM
