Frequently Asked Questions
What causes turbo failure?
The most common causes are oil starvation (blocked oil feed pipes, low oil level), foreign object damage, and excessive exhaust temperatures from engine tuning. Regular oil changes with the correct specification oil are essential for turbo longevity.
Should I fit a new or reconditioned turbo?
Reconditioned turbos cost 30-50% less than new units and can be excellent quality if sourced from a reputable remanufacturer. New turbos offer warranty peace of mind. Avoid cheap unbranded units — a poor-quality turbo can fail within months.
