What is a turbocharger and how does it work?

A turbocharger is a type of air pump or compressor that helps to increase the horsepower of an engine. Sometimes referred to simply as a “turbo”, the device draws in air from the atmosphere, compresses it, and forces it into the engine. The fuel management system then matches the extra air input with additional fuel. This process yields higher peak horsepower than an engine can otherwise produce without a turbocharger. It is similar to a supercharger, but, where a supercharger runs on a belt connected to the engine’s crankshaft, a turbocharger has an internal turbine wheel that is powered by exhaust gases exiting the engine.

HOW IS THIS SERVICE PERFORMED?

How is a a Turbocharger Replacement done?

Some of the problems with a turbocharger are relatively simple repairs, such as a loose hose or electrical connection. A technician will check for those first. If the component needs to be replaced, the technician will need to do the following:

Disconnect the exhaust system and lowering it out of the way to access the turbocharger
Remove oil lines, coolant lines, electrical connectors, sensors, and air hoses
Detach and remove the the turbocharger and install the new component
Note - While installation is typically the reverse of removal, a special oil priming procedure may be necessary. A scan-tool may also be required to perform a “relearn'' procedure so that the new turbocharger can sync with the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) properly.
