Additional information about the service
Turbocharger Restoration is a comprehensive procedure that helps restore the turbocharger's functionality and extend its lifespan. The turbocharger is a complex and expensive component that can wear out over time due to contaminants, poor oil quality, or improper use. We offer not just a replacement, but a quality repair with the replacement of worn parts, which is often sufficient for normal operation.
Diagnosis and Preparation
First, we remove the turbocharger and carefully disassemble it. All parts undergo cleaning to remove carbon buildup and dirt. Our specialists thoroughly inspect the blades, housing, bearings, and other elements for wear or damage. This is crucial to determine what can be restored and what needs to be replaced.
Repair and Replacement of Parts
If the wear is not too severe, we can restore some components, such as cleaning the guides or polishing the discs. However, if parts are significantly damaged, we replace them with new ones - this applies to bearings, gaskets, and seals. We always replace all sealing rings to prevent oil and air leaks. Balancing the rotor helps avoid vibrations and prolongs the turbocharger's lifespan.
Assembly, Testing, and Installation
After the repair, we assemble the turbocharger and conduct testing to ensure it operates correctly. Only after this do we reinstall it back onto the vehicle. During this process, we recommend changing the oil and filters to ensure the new or restored turbocharger operates smoothly. We also advise waiting a bit before turning off the engine, especially if you often drive in the city - this allows the turbocharger to cool down properly and last longer.
