The Turbo Repair Process
Turbo Exchange have an exceptional turbo repairs department. Our Qualified experts are available to help at any time! Turbochargers are our speciality!
It is important to note that not all turbochargers are repairable. Many might claim this not to be the case but the risk in repairing turbochargers far outweighs and price advantage gained. Turbocharger such as BorgWarner VGT (Variable Turbine Technology), Holsets VGT (Variable Geometry Turbocharger), Garrett VNT (Variable Nozzle Turbine), IHI VG (Variable Geometry) have highly complex design which make it impossible to remanufacture with any degree of reliability. To this end none of the major manufacturers make component parts available to aftermarket and no official repair specification is available. Our turbo repair and remanufacture program is specifically for those turbochargers that are repairable. You can be confident that when we repair or supply a service exchange turbocharger you will enjoy a full service life due to the same quality, specifications and settings being the same as the original turbocharger.
