| 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. |

Installation Notes and Tips
Before installing K1030163N, change the engine oil and filter and follow the included installation guide. Inspect the intake and exhaust tract for contamination, and replace the air filter if needed to reduce the risk of blade damage from debris. Diagnose and correct the original cause of failure before putting the new turbocharger into service.
Allow the engine to cool before shutdown to reduce the chance of oil coking in the turbocharger. Regular oil changes are important, since contaminated or old oil is a common cause of turbo failure. If the wheels or shaft show excessive play, or if there are nicks, scratches, or chips on the wheels, inspect the engine and air system carefully before replacement.
