Advantages of Turbochargers
In turbochargers the exhaust gas energy which would normally be wasted is used to drive a turbine, which in turn drives a compressor to deliver compressed air to the engine. The advantages of a turbocharged engine are: lower fuel consumption lower emissions better torque characteristics lower weight and smaller engine package lower engine noise
Turbine Wheel
Turbine Housing
As the air is sucked into the compressor cover, it is forced through a diffuser area. This compresses the air and forces it into the engine This process causes the air to increase in temperature, up to 200 degrees C

Bearing System
Journal Bearings fully floating bearings - allows higher clearances, so higher oil flows for cooling oil film thicknesses of 0.008 to 0.015 mm leaded bronze allow high degrees of imbalance Thrust Bearing taper land bearing phosphor bronze or sintered iron thrust loads of 100 - 2000 N (size dependent) typical oil film thickness 0.008 - 0.015mm Has to withstand high temperatures, hot shut down, soot loading in the oil, contaminants, oil additives, dry starts.

Wastegate Check
Apply 3 bar (300 kPa) air pressure to ensure that the wastegate actuator is not leaking or stuck.
Check for air leakage
Turbine Housing
typically Spheroidal Graphite cast iron (ferritic) typically greensand mould, sand core profile machining to match the turbine blade shape normally the primary mounting point and load bearing interface for the whole turbo may include water cooling jackets in some applications operation can be up to 760 C on some applications requirements impact resistance (ductility) oxidation resistance high temp strength thermal fatigue resistance ease of machining other materials used on turbochargers : NiResist
Bearing Housing
typically Grey (flake) cast iron (pearlitic) typically shell moulded cores to provide positional accuracy of bearing location and seals, shell mould or sand cast outer machined by a combination of milling, turning, drilling, tapping, honing complex geometries - particularly for water cooled housings and variable geometry turbos requirements castability ease of machining rigidity thermal stability
Compressor Housing
typically cast aluminum alloy - various grades gravity die cast or sand cast profile machining to match impeller blade shape operation can be up to 200 C requirements impact resistance (ductility) ease of machining
Impeller
typically cast aluminium alloy cast by a variant of investment casting process, using rubber formers and plaster moulds started using this process in 1976 to allow the production of wheels with backsweep on the blades operation up to more than 200 C possible requirements fatigue strength elevated temp strength creep resistance corrosion resistance for special high pressure applications temperatures can exceed the creep limits of aluminium in these applications Holset uses cast titanium impellers very sensitive to balance groove shape and to damage/defects

Warranty Analysis
Check for damage to the external surfaces,concentrating on the flange areas where incorrect fitting of pipes or adaptors,may have caused damage.
Customer Responsibility
AIR INTAKE
TURBINE INLET
Remove the turbine housing and compressor cover and check for any wheel touches or rubs on the profile.
Remove the thrust bearing and thrust collar,check for blockage of the oil feed holes ( a common cause of thrust failure ). Check for heat discolouration and scoring marks of both the bearing and collar. If excessive radial clearance was found it is likely that the journal bearings will also be damaged.
Cause : Silicone from the oil feed pipe fitting. Cleanliness during service intervals,filters and oil.
Remove the turbine-end bearing. This bearing will normally be a much darker colour than the compressor bearing (due to higher operating temperature).
Cause : Service intervals overdue Cleanliness during service Poor quality oil Poor quality filters
Oil Contamination
New bearing Contaminated bearing
Check the colour of the bearing, a natural darkening with age is acceptable. A duller,powdery surface is an indication of engine coolant in the oil - the same appearance will normally also be found on the thrust bearing.
Oil Delay
Bronze particles on the shaft
Oil Starvation
Cause : Oil pump failure Broken oil feed pipe No oil in engine.
Cause: Hot shutdown of the engine, poor quality lub. oil, infrequent service intervals, check for heavy carbon deposit in the bearing housing.

Hot Shut Down from Peak Torque Temp Limit of CD Oil 1 min Idle 2 min Idle 3 min Idle
Cause : Incorrect fuel/air ratio, caused by blocked air intake filter, or overfuelling, etc.
Oil Leakage
External - Common Causes : Loose / Damaged oil inlet and oil drain fittings. If fitting a new gasket and tightening the fittings does not stop the leak,then look for a damaged oil line or leaking centre housing. Internal Compressor & Turbine - Common Causes : Restriction in the turbo oil drain will force oil past the split ring seals at both the turbine and compressor ends. Oil leakage at both ends simultaneously is a good indicator that this may be the problem Engine blow by pressure - which can be due to the engine crankcase vent being blocked by damage,plugging or icing.
Oil Leakage
Restriction
An inlet depression(vacuum) greater than 25 in water will pull oil past the compressor end split ring seal. THIS WILL NOT DAMAGE THE TURBO UNLESS THE THRUST BEARING FAILS. Typical cause is a blocked air intake filter or collapsed intake pipe.
Oil Leakage
Holset - Responsibility
Failure due to manufacturing quality defect.
Balance failures due to a manufacturing problem (hence Holset Responsibility) usually occur in very early life. (i.e. most within 500 km). If a balance failure occurs in late life - it is normally caused by wheel foreign-object damage, turbo overspeed or tampering) Balance failure causes: Parts misaligned Rotor parts replaced without check-balancing Incorrect parts used.
Noise
Causes of noisy turbo complaints High level of rotor imbalance (if very early life - i.e. less than 1k km, most likely a Holset issue - if later in life, look for foreign-object damage or bearing damage which caused a wheel rub, etc). Turbocharger bearing housing joints - loose screws, V clamps. (A/Mkt turbos fitted,OE orientation factory set ). Check for signs of leakage/damaged jointing surfaces. Air or exhaust leaks on external turbo flanges Look for soot on the turbine inlet and exhaust flanges, check if fasteners are loose , or surfaces damaged. Non-turbocharger issues (water pump, fan belt, etc, etc).

Difference
General Observations : No Holset casting numbers marks on any components. Impeller wheel had a casting identification R ( Ross Foundry ) The turbine housing and bearing housing castings looked porous. Compressor Front Wheel clearance .023 ( Within Holset tolerance ) The turbine wheel has a recess machine on the backface. ( Suspect this could weaken the wheel ) Journal bearing have a groove in the bore. General quality looks poor from other copy turbos seen. Recommendations : Containment test.

Preventative Maintenance
Preventative Maintenance
Air filters should be changed at the OEMs recommended intervals or earlier when operating in severe conditions. WARNING : Running the engine with a partially blocked air intake filter will increase fuel consumption and could also lead to turbocharger oil leakage. High exhaust back pressure can lead to temperature related problems with the turbocharger specifically bearings and seals. It is recommended that all clamps,hose clips,nuts & screws are checked at the routine service intervals. The correct torques can be found in the HOLSET Service Repair Manual
Preventative Maintenance
REMEMBER :
The longer the engine is allowed to cool down the less damage is done to the turbo
Determine the cause of any engine or vehicle failure and rectify,before fitting a replacement turbocharger
Connect the oil drain line and then fill the turbocharger oil feed hole with clean engine oil. Slowly rotate the rotor by hand.
Connect the oil inlet line and the remaining external fittings to the turbocharger.
Pull out the fuel stop and crank over the engine using the starter motor, until normal operating engine oil pressure is developed.
