How to keep turbochargers in great condition between overhauls

Clean the turbochargers regularly! Removing the build-up of deposits on the turbine and compressor sides of turbochargers will extend the interval between overhauls. Clean turbochargers are essential for engine performance, and you can achieve the following benefits:

• Lower risk of unexpected downtime
• Longer interval between turbocharger overhauls
• Lower maintenance costs

How to improve engine performance with turbocharger upgrades

The purpose of the turbocharger is to boost engine performance. The upgrades will make use of modern higher efficiency turbochargers. Combining them with engine tuning to optimize the performance of the engine. This will bring fuel savings and a decrease of generated emissions. As a result, your operating costs will be lower. In addition, this will help you comply with the ever-tighter emission limits.

• Fuel savings of up to 3%
• NOX emission reductions to comply with emission limits
• More flexibility for engine operation
