Common Turbo Failures

Overspeeding

Overspeeding is a term used when a turbo is operating well above its normal operating limits.

Oil Contamination

Oil is very often overlooked as a critical component, however clean filtered engine oil is a major requirement and a necessity for all turbochargers.

Oil Leaks

Oil leaks can be caused by a variety of factors which often originate around the correct pressure within the compressor and turbine housing.

Insufficient Lubrication

If the original cause of failure is not identified it is likely the same type of failure will occur on the remanufactured turbo.

Foreign Object Damage

A foreign object is simply any object that enters the turbocharger through the air inlet or exhaust inlet and will will be affected the turbos performance.

REA/SREA

REA (Rotary Electronic Actuator) or SREA (Simple Rotary Electronic Actuator) are fitted to many variable geometry turbos and control the variable vanes.

Overheating

Overheating is a term used to describe components that have been subjected to abnormally high exhaust temperature or insufficient cooling.
