Can a broken turbocharger be repaired?

[PaigeAnn]

Turbochargers cannot be repaired if they are broken; they can only be replaced. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor, consisting of two main parts: the compressor turbine and the exhaust turbine. The exhaust turbine is connected to the exhaust manifold. When the engine reaches a certain speed, the exhaust gases have enough energy to drive the exhaust turbine, which is connected to the intake turbine via a shared shaft. The turbocharger utilizes the inertial force of the engine's exhaust gases to spin the turbine in the turbine housing. This turbine, in turn, drives the coaxial impeller, which compresses air delivered from the air filter and forces it into the cylinders under increased pressure. As the engine speed rises, the exhaust gas velocity and turbine speed increase in sync, allowing the impeller to compress more air into the cylinders. The higher air pressure and density enable more fuel to be burned, and by adjusting the fuel injection and engine speed accordingly, the engine's output power can be increased.
