Common problems associated with a Turbocharger

Common problems associated with a Turbocharger: 

  1. Turbo lag: Delayed response when accelerating due to the time required for the turbine to spin up.
  2. Overboost/ underboost: Inconsistent boost pressure, leading to reduced power or excessive stress on the engine.
  3. Oil leaks: Oil supply or drainage issues that can result in insufficient lubrication or excessive oil consumption.
  4. Compressor surge: Occurs when the pressure in the intake system becomes too high, leading to inefficient operation and potential damage.
  5. Shaft play/ wear: Excessive movement or wear of the turbocharger's shaft, often resulting in increased noise and reduced performance.
