How to Identify Turbocharger Damage?

[McRichard]

Turbocharger damage can be identified by the following methods: 1. Blue or white smoke from the exhaust pipe; 2. Decreased power; 3. Increased fuel consumption; 4. Increased oil consumption; 5. Presence of metal friction sounds; 6. Oil leakage in the turbo intercooler pipes; 7. Blockage in the exhaust gas recirculation pipe. A turbocharger is a technology that uses exhaust gases generated by internal combustion engines to drive an air compressor. Common causes of turbocharger failure include: 1. Insufficient lubricating oil pressure and flow; 2. Debris or sediment entering the lubrication system, causing oil oxidation and deterioration; 3. Blockage in the turbocharger oil return pipe, leading to excessive oil accumulation in the intermediate support of the rotor assembly and flowing into the compressor impeller along the rotor shaft.
