Why The Turbos Fail

[Ricky N]

Seriously, how many turbo's have actually "failed" as per the thread title?? Bugger all.

Lots.

And more and more of them as time goes on.

Hence the thread.

turbo tube oil supply - FOBA9G440A - about $62.00

turbo oil filter - FOBA9P424A - about $130.00

from your local fraud dealer

You got those prices round the wrong way????

What does ETM charge for the replacement oil lines and filters. Mine are going black at the ends and need replacing.

It's not just the water cooling all parts of the turbo. A constant flow of oil is squirted onto the turbine shaft and bearing races when the car is running keeping them from overheating. The actual bearings them self do not need that much oil to operate correctly.

Yes turbo timers will idle the car down for you.

But they are illegal in most states.

but seriously, whos turbo has sh*t itself because of something other than the oil supply filter. anyone ?

100 thou and still going strong at 12psi

ETM's remote filter, good oil and some sedate driving after a fang and that's it, no turbo timers or letting it idle for hours after a drive.
