Buying a used turbocharger: what to check
- Check shaft play. Any detectable radial movement means the bearing is worn.
- Ask for donor mileage and oil-change history if available; oil starvation kills turbos.
- Inspect the compressor wheel for chipped blades from debris ingestion.
- Budget for new oil feed and return lines. Reusing clogged lines destroys replacement turbos.
