Turbos & Induction

Our Turbochargers are used as a performance modification that is a part of a level 3 stage upgrade. They’re designed with a turbine housing wheel which is driven by the exhaust gasses and a compressing system that forces air into the engine, which drastically increases airflow. Ultimately, this leads to increased engine horsepower and torque, ideal if you’re looking for that wow factor when it comes to vehicle performance. 

High performance turbochargers force a lot more air than the original unit, so for the vehicle to handle this safely and for you to gain the additional power you’re looking for, a stage 3 ECU tune is required. The turbo operates beyond factory limits, and without the correct calibration, it can lead to engine damage. 

Our professional mechanics will ensure that the job is done safely for you, as the turbocharger and ECU need to go hand in hand to achieve great performance without damaging your vehicle.

Get in touch with us to book your installation, and we’ll check if your vehicle is compatible and safe for this process with our pre-tune inspection.

Due to the fact that the turbo charger increases a large amount of airflow to the engine, it’s essential to choose the right quality fuel. Whilst as long as the fuel used matches to the map, no damage to your engine will be caused, but the vehicle will make less power. 

Whilst you could run a vehicle that has a 95ron map with 99ron fuel with no issues, the opposite can’t be said. Running a vehicle with 99ron software with 95ron fuel results in increased knock and ignition pull. The ECU can only pull back ignition so much and damage can be caused pretty quickly under high throttle input. 

Typically, turbo chargers can last between 100,000-150,000 miles, but this depends on several factors. Let’s break down the different factors that can contribute to your turbocharger’s lifespan: 

• Car Type - Your engine and car type can play a big role when it comes to your turbocharger’s lifespan. For example, diesel engines typically offer longer lifespans as they operate at lower speeds and exhaust temperatures.  
• Driving Habits - Frequent aggressive driving, such as harsh acceleration, breaking and RPMs can have a huge impact on your car’s turbocharger over time. These habits can stress the turbocharger as they make it reach very high temperatures without getting much chance to cool down, causing cracks and breakages. Of course, these regular driving habits can also have a negative impact on other parts of your car too.
• Servicing - Regularly servicing your car can help identify any internal issues with your turbocharger. By capturing these issues earlier on, our team of experts can help you fix them and extend your turbocharger’s lifespan.
• Maintenance - Keeping the surrounding areas of your car clean is important for your turbocharger to remain in good condition. A car that is neglected can lead to the turbocharger becoming damaged since the internal areas can be contaminated with dust, grit and debris. 
• Frequent Oil Changes - Ensuring that you have sufficient oil levels is crucial for looking after your turbocharger. This is because the turbocharger needs to be lubricated with oil for it to work effectively and safely.
• Oil Quality - Just as important as frequent oil changes, oil quality can also have a big impact on the longevity of your turbocharger. Poor oil quality can break down quickly, losing its ability to heat and cool your engine and the turbocharger which is an essential process for safety reasons.
