Default How to Recognize Your Turbo is Blown

As we all know that turbo is an important car part that can increase performance of your beloved car. Generally, you engine combines fuil and air to produce power, but install a turbo on your engine could exhuast more air in and spin an air pump. This air pump pushes more air into the cylinders of your engine, delivering significantly higher horsepower.

However, the coomon question for the majority of people is how to recognize wheather their turbo blown or not? Let me tell you some symptpms of a damaged or failing turbo are:
  • Loss of power;
  • Slower, louder acceleration;
  • Difficulty maintaining high speeds;
  • Blue/grey smoke coming from the exhaust;
  • Engine dashboard light is showing.
If you already experienced some of these, or even all of these, your turbo could have a problem.

What causes turbo damage

The three things I would like to illustrate below are major factors that could casue a blown turbo.

1. Engine oil – oil is very improtant to keep turbo function well. A lack of oil, the wrong grade of oil, or poor quality oil will cause damage to the turbo.

2. The age of cars – if your turbo has been used for a very long time, it is understandable that them wear out evetually.

3. Seal cracked or worn. Seals are between compressor and the engine, if will cause oil leak into the exhaust system if seals are dmaged. Aslo, the turbo has to work harder to increase aire pressure.

What to do if your turbo is blown

If you think you might have a blown turbo, you could get it looked at as soon as possible by someone is qualified to repair. However, seeking advice from professional techinicians are ususally very expensive, the price even higher than replace a turbo. For people don’t know where to get the budget turbos?
