TURBO WARRANTY GUIDELINES

Installation Guidelines

Proper installation is crucial to a long turbocharger life. Improper installation and maintenance can result in a short life of a turbo.

In order to reduce the risk of premature turbo failure, all customers purchasing a turbo from Westrac Ltd must read and understand the following installation guidelines:

Before fitting the turbo, please check and clean the following parts (and/or replace if necessary):

  • Check oil pump ( oil pressure),
  • Check and clean oil strainer to prevent residual carbon.
  • Check exhaust system and clean any blockages,
  • Check and clean oil sump,
  • Check and clean the DPF system (If equipped),
  • Check and clean intercooler,
  • Check and clean turbo oil lines and banjo bolts,
  • Check wastegate actuator wiring (If equipped).
  • Clean Intercooler
  • Clean air intake system (includes all intake hoses)
  • Change air filter.
  • Change the engine oil and oil filter.
  • Ensure oil level is above minimum.

Fit the turbo and test the oil flow of your engine.

Important: Be sure the oil level is above minimum level before testing:

Install the turbo to the engine with oil return pipe off;

  • Align the bearing housing to where the oil drain is pointing down within 30 degrees, tighten all clamps.
  • Crank engine until oil drains out of the oil drain on the turbo.
  • Use a long oil line; attach one end to the oil drain line, and the other into a container to catch draining oil,
  • Start your engine for 60s then power off;

Important: There should be at least 0.3L oil in the container;

Repeat the test to confirm the flow is right and stable.

Note: We highly recommended that a professional mechanic or turbo technician installs any new turbo purchased.

  • Warranty does not include any damage caused by foreign objects.
  • Warranty can only be granted if there are no signs of improper installation.

Turbos come with a forty-five (45) day’s Warranty, under the General Warranty Policy, ONLY if turbo Warranty Guidelines are followed. All items in red indicate steps that can NOT be missed or skipped in any case.
