What are you trying to test? Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Turbocharger test procedure, Ian M, Tue, 21 Sep 2004 04:45:24 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Are you trying to test a turbocharger sitting on a bench? Or one still in a junk car, and you want to know if it's good? Or is it in your car now, and you don't think you're getting the proper performance from the car?
If it's not in a running car, you can check to see how it spins, and the play in the shaft. I don't think there is much you can do about shaft seals except visually.
If it's in your running car, then let's talk about what symptoms you're seeing. Turbos basically work fine, or leak lots of oil into the exhaust, or just don't spin. Most boost problems in cars is not due to the turbocharger, but all of the boost control systems.
