Failing turbos can be avoided

Turbo Troubles

The three big reasons for turbo charger problems all relate to carbon:

• Exhaust carbon can accumulate and foul internal clearances, jamming variable vane mechanisms.
• Excessive carbon (soot) in the lube oil can be abrasive on turbo bearings and seals.
• Diesel Particulate Filter clogging is one of the newest causes of turbocharger failures, and it’s making a big impact. When DPF’s start to block, back pressure on the turbo increases. The DPF undergoes a regeneration cycle, which adds a lot of heat to the DPF, with the turbo being closely located to the DPF it also suffers severe heating.

These are carbon and soot issues, and can be addressed by using an effective, detergent based flushing oil concentrate, to remove accumulated sludge, soot and carbon from all oil wetted parts of the engine. Complement this by producing a cleaner fuel burn with a thoroughly proven combustion catalyst, and you’ll correct the main causes of turbo charger problems.

FTC Decarbonizer actively burns off carbon from combustion and exhaust spaces maintaining exceptional top piston ring cleanliness. This dramatically reduces turbocharger failures. With less exhaust soot to foul Turbos, they become much more reliable.
