About the Rotomaster New Turbocharger Product Line
The Rotomaster New Turbocharger line focuses on delivering 100% new turbochargers engineered to match original equipment performance. This product line emphasizes quality materials such as steel and aluminum and incorporates essential components like wastegate actuators to ensure proper boost control. The New Turbocharger series is designed to provide reliable air and fuel delivery solutions for a wide range of vehicle applications, including the Ford E-350 Econoline series.
Detailed Product Description
This turbocharger features a journal bearing type, which is known for its durability and ability to handle high rotational speeds with reduced friction. The oil cooling method helps maintain the turbocharger’s temperature during operation, preventing overheating and extending component life. The wastegate actuator included with this unit regulates boost pressure, protecting the engine from excessive boost conditions. Constructed from steel and aluminum, the turbocharger balances strength and weight considerations. The package contains the turbocharger itself along with necessary o-rings; however, mounting brackets and hardware are not included and should be sourced separately.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Restores engine power loss caused by worn or failing turbochargers
- Replaces turbochargers damaged by foreign object ingestion or oil starvation
- Solves issues related to excessive crankcase pressure affecting turbo performance
- Addresses boost pressure irregularities due to faulty wastegate actuators
- Improves air and fuel delivery efficiency in Ford E-350 Econoline and Club Wagon models
Installation Notes and Tips
- Ensure engine oil is changed regularly to prevent oil starvation and turbo failure
- Allow the engine to cool before shutting down to protect the turbocharger from heat damage
- Inspect air filters and clean the entire air and exhaust system to avoid foreign object damage
- Check for axial end play and shaft movement to diagnose turbo wear before replacement
- Mounting hardware and brackets are not included; verify compatibility and source separately

| Troubleshooting Tip | A decrease in engine power may be your first indication your turbocharger is damaged or has failed. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Any nicks, scratches, or chips on either wheel are evidence foreign object damage caused by contaminants entering the airflow to or from the engine. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Axial end play of the wheels and shaft in and out greater than the thickness of a sheet of paper indicates a worn thrust bearing due to excessive exhaust backpressure. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Before a failed turbocharger is replaced the original cause of failure must be diagnosed and corrected to protect the new installation. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Common signs of wear indicating replacement may be required: |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Worn engines with excessive blow by will result in crankcase pressurization, leading to oil leaking from the turbochargers internal seals. This may result in oil deposits in the intake manifold or smoke in the exhaust. This is not necessarily a sign of a failed turbocharger, but rather a sign that the engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced. |
