Pro’s & Con’s Of Turbo Exchange

Pro’s

  • Quicker turn-around.

  • Cheaper.

Con’s

  • Easy to miss undiagnosed engine issues.

  • No direct turbocharger report.

While our exchange scheme can be a great option for those who are on the clock, the best practise for turbo remanufacturing is to send your initial turbo to us for an inspection report - as part of our reman service. That way you we can inform you of any underlying issues you may not be aware of that may have contributed towards or even caused the turbo failure.

How To Order

  • Confirm Your Part Number.

    The first step in ordering the correct turbocharger for your vehicle is confirming the turbocharger part number.

    This number can be obtained by either contacting your main dealer or by finding the number on the unit itself.

  • Place Your Order.

    Call out friendly staff and quote your turbochargers part number. We will then be able to confirm availability and pricing from there

    If the item is in stock and being delivered to UK mainland, a new turbo could be available for next working day delivery.

  • Fit Your Turbocharger.

    We recommend having your turbocharger fitted at a reputable garage, we also offer our own fitting service.

    It is of paramount importance that the reason for failure is ascertained, this is something we offer as part of our repair service, however for customers ordering units on an exchange basis, we suggest the mechanics investigate the vehicle to ensure no pipes are blocked, and that any underlying issues are resolved.

  • Return Exchange Turbocharger.

    Send us your old turbocharger; place the old unit in a bag and ensure the turbo is boxed.

    Please then contact us and we will arrange a courier collection of the unit. Customers ordering an exchange will not be surcharged, providing the old unit is returned. Failure to return the turbocharger within 14 days could void your warranty and a £100 surcharge could retrospectively be applied.

Things to Remember.

Before fitting your exchange turbocharger there are things to check. Your previous unit may have failed for a reason, reasons can include oil starvation, oil contamination, overspeed and impact damage, all of which can cause repeated failures if not addressed.

Here’s a few good practices before fitting and when running your turbocharger.

Prime The Turbo.

Priming the turbocharger before fitting is important, turbochargers generally leave us with residue oil from the balancing process but it can be a good idea to ensure there is plenty of oil in the turbo before installation. Disconnect the fuel line or isolate the ignition system and then crank the engine over with the new turbo installed - make sure oil has flowed through the turbocharger, you can do this by removing the oil drain line to viably check flow.

Check Breather System.

Check / change engine breather, on many vehicle applications customers may get smoking if their crank case breather is blocked, please rectify accordingly.

Avoid Hot Stop.

Stop hot shut downs. A shaft spinning upwards of 250,000 RPM, it can take time to spool down, avoid cutting your engine and oil supply off prematurely. We recommend letting your engine idle for at least 30 seconds before switching off, this will minimise the risk of any damage.

Check Underlying Issues.

Ensure underlying issues are resolved, low oil pressure problems, blockages, contaminated oil etc..
