SIGNS THAT YOUR TURBO MAY BE WEARING

The turbo on your engine is a vital part to how well your car performs. When the turbo is wearing, or has been starved of oil it can cause a significant decrease in power. Signs that you may have a worn or damaged turbo is hearing a grinding sound when coming onto boost or when you turn your car off. This could mean that the bearing in the turbo is worn out and is causing shaft play, which is then leading to the blades of the turbo to hit the side of the turbo housing and cause damage to the blades. Eventually if this is not attended to the turbo can completely go and you will have next to no power and your car may also start blowing a fair amount of smoke. The oil feed line and filter into your turbo is always something good to check to maintain your turbo as if you still have the standard ones on there they can easily get blocked and not allow any oil through, starving the turbo and causing the bearing to go. A good way to prevent that is an aftermarket oil feed line with an external filter on it that is easy to access, change and replace if required.
