Turbo Installation Tips

  • Diagnose and fix any problems that caused the previous turbo to fail.
  • Change engine oil and filter as specified by the vehicles manufacturers.
  • Check and clean DPF and EGR.
  • Replace oil feed line (Keep receipt for warranty).
  • Remove all plastic plugs from turbo before installation.
  • Use new gaskets when installing. DO NOT USE SILICONE!
  • Prime turbo with new oil through oil inlet hole.
  • Make sure all oil and coolant levels are where they need to be.
  • Start car and let idle for 5-10 minutes.
  • Check installation for any leaks.
  • Once the turbo has been installed, perform a “Boost leak test” and check for any leaks.
  • A boost leak can cause the turbo to over-speed causing damage over time.
  • After 20 operating hours or 1000Km, check for any leaks.
