FOR CORRECT TURBOCHARGER INSTALLATION
In order to avoid
any possible damage while installing your turbocharger
or premature operating problems, either of which could invalidate the
warranty, please follow these instructions carefully and completely.
1. Check very carefully
that there is not foreign material in either
the air intake or exhaust system, even the smallest fragments have
the potential to cause serious damage at the high operating speeds
of the modern turbocharger.
2. It is important
that the turbocharger centre, turbine and compressor
housings are correctly orientated before final fitting. If the bolts,
lock tabs or V-bands are loosened to achieve this, check that all
mating flanges are correctly reseated and that all service manual
torque settings are adhered to when making final rigid connections.
3. All the relevant
air, oil and exhaust gaskets should be replaced when
the turbocharger is fitted. It is important to use the correct new gaskets
in all cases, and never use sealing compounds at any turbocharger oil
connection.
4. The engine oil
and filter should also be changed, using oil that
is specified for turbocharged engines.
5. Before connecting
the turbocharger oil feed hose it is essential
to check for any restriction resulting from oil carbonisation, then
fill the oil inlet port to overflow with clean oil.
6. Crank the engine
(without firing) until there is a steady flow of
oil from the drain port before connecting the oil drain hose.
7. Let the engine
run at idle speed for a minimum of 3 minutes after
installation. This will prevent possible damage to the bearing system
due to oil delay, and have the effect of purging the system of any
residual contaminants.
