It is important to maintain an accurate history of the service and hours on the turbocharger in order to minimize unscheduled repairs or downtime. Typically, the compressor and turbine life is at least 50,000 hours. If your turbocharger is approaching or has exceeded 50,000 service hours, contact your dealer with the following information:
-
