TURBOCHARGER
TIPS WITH M&D

TURBOCHARGER RELIABILITY
STARTS WITH PROPER DIAGNOSIS
Modern aftermarket turbochargers are built
to meet or exceed OEM standards, yet most
premature failures are not caused by the
turbo itself—they result from unresolved
engine system issues. To protect your
investment and prevent repeat failures,
it’s critical to diagnose the entire system,
not just replace the turbo.
such as high-temperature turbine alloys,
reinforced bearings, precision-machined
housings, and improved sealing. Advanced
balancing (often tighter than OEM specs) and
multi-stage quality checks further ensure
durability and performance. The takeaway:
a high-quality replacement turbo is rarely
the root cause of failure.
COMMON CAUSES OF TURBO
FAILURE
Turbochargers typically fail due to upstream
system problems, not internal defects.
Misdiagnosing the issue leads to repeat
failures. Common root causes include:
EGR system malfunctions
DPF restrictions or regeneration issues
• Faulty or leaking fuel injectors
• Foreign object damage (FOD)
• Performance modifications such as EGR
deletes or high-horsepower tuning
•
WHY QUALITY AFTERMARKET
TURBOS EXCEL
Today’s aftermarket turbos are engineered for
higher demands with upgraded materials,
tighter tolerances, and enhanced components
•
EGR deletes raise combustion and turbine
temperatures, shortening turbo lifespan
and damaging components. Increased
boost and aggressive tuning push the turbo
beyond its design limits, elevating exhaust
temperatures, shaft speed, and the risk of
heat fatigue and oil coking.
BOTTOM LINE
A turbocharger rarely fails on its own—it’s
usually a symptom of a larger issue. By
addressing EGR, DPF, fuel, airflow, tuning,
and lubrication systems before replacement,
technicians can extend turbo life, reduce
downtime, lower repair costs, and improve
customer satisfaction. Proper diagnosis
protects both the turbo and the investment
behind it.
At Rush Truck Centres, we offer quality
aftermarket turbochargers at competitive
prices to support your fleet.
