Turbochargers are an essential component of many modern engines, particularly those in high-performance vehicles. Over time, however, turbos can become worn or damaged, which can lead to reduced performance and even engine failure. This is where our turbo reconditioning service comes in.
Reconditioning turbos is the process of repairing or replacing worn or damaged components in a turbocharger, restoring it to its original condition and performance. This can involve replacing bearings, piston rings, and other internal components, as well as cleaning and balancing components such as the turbine and compressor wheels.
There are several benefits to reconditioning turbos. The first and most obvious is improved performance. A properly reconditioned turbo will provide the same level of performance as a brand-new unit, allowing your engine to produce more power. This can be particularly important in high-performance vehicles, where every bit of extra power counts.
Another benefit of having your turbo reconditioned is increased reliability. A worn or damaged turbo is more likely to fail, which can cause serious damage to your engine. By utilising our expert turbo reconditioning service, you can ensure that it is working as it should be and reduce the risk of failure.
As part of our turbo reconditioning service, you not only get a condition report on the turbo itself, but also a failure analysis to ensure any remedial works required are advised, this will help your repairer or garage to ensure that when the turbo is refitted it will give you many miles of trouble-free motoring.
In addition, turbo reconditioning can be more cost-effective than buying a brand-new unit. Depending on the extent of the damage, reconditioning may be significantly cheaper than purchasing a new turbocharger. This can be particularly important for older or less common vehicles, where finding a new turbo may be difficult or expensive.
Finally, turbo reconditioning can also be more environmentally friendly. Rather than replacing the entire unit, reconditioning allows you to reuse many of the existing components, reducing waste and energy consumption.
Reconditioning turbos can provide a range of benefits, from improved performance and reliability to cost savings and environmental sustainability. If you are experiencing issues with your turbo, a reconditioned unit may be a viable option to consider. Get in touch with Universal Turbos today for more information.
