Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used turbo

  • Spin the turbine by hand — it should rotate freely with zero play. Any shaft wobble means worn bearings.
  • Check the compressor wheel blades for impact marks from debris ingestion.
  • Inspect the oil feed and return ports for coking (hardened oil deposits that block lubrication).
  • Confirm the turbo model matches your ECU tune — different output turbos may bolt on but throw fault codes.
