Product Details and Specifications
This turbocharger features a journal bearing type, which supports smooth shaft rotation and longevity under typical operating conditions. Constructed from steel and aluminum, the unit is designed for durability and efficient heat dissipation. The cooling method utilizes engine coolant to maintain optimal operating temperatures. Additionally, the turbocharger includes a wastegate actuator to regulate boost pressure effectively. Note that mounting brackets and hardware are not included, so existing components should be reused or sourced separately.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Restores engine power loss caused by worn or failing turbochargers
- Replaces units damaged by foreign object ingestion or bearing wear
- Addresses turbocharger failures related to oil starvation or overheating
- Improves boost control with integrated wastegate actuator
- Supports emission compliance by matching OE performance
Installation Notes and Maintenance Tips
Before installation, inspect the engine’s air and oil supply systems to prevent premature turbocharger failure. It is recommended to replace the air filter and maintain regular engine oil changes to ensure proper lubrication. Allow the engine to cool before shutdown to avoid oil coking in the turbocharger. The package includes a syringe for initial lubrication during installation. Since mounting hardware is not included, verify compatibility with existing brackets and fasteners.

| 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. |
