Turbochargers can spin at over 240,000 rpm and they ensure temperatures of 950°. During operation, even the smallest object ingested or sucked into the Turbo can damage or destroy the compressor and turbine, leading to low pressure or total failure.

The main causes of impact damage are

• Items sucked into the air intake usually caused by poor quality or a missing air filter
• damaged Turbo hoses allowing small particles of gripped except to enter the intake
• pieces of gasket material entering the intake
• nuts, bolts, washers rags or other right of left in the intake pipe during servicing
• broken engine components e.g. injector tips, valves, or fragments of damage piston
• fragments from a previous turbocharger failure
some simple tips

Some simple tips to prevent impact damage to your new turbocharger

• Ensure all your air hoses are in good condition, and that they are intact and free from any blockages, and there are no loose items in
• always use brand-new gaskets to ensure a perfect seal which will avoid gasket breakup
• always fit the correct air filter and make sure it's new
• thoroughly check that there are no turbo or engine fragments in the system from the previous Turbo failure before fitting the replacement item
