Inspector Detail
▸
Common issues
- Compressor wheel fouling due to poor air filtration
- Turbine blade erosion from high-temperature exhaust gases
- Bearing wear and vibration caused by misalignment or imbalance
- Oil leakage from turbocharger seals and gaskets
- Carbon buildup on turbine and compressor blades
- Incorrect turbocharger tuning or calibration
- Worn or damaged nozzle rings and turbine blades
Inspection checklist
- Visual inspection of compressor and turbine blades for fouling or damage
- Check turbocharger bearings for wear and vibration
- Inspect oil seals and gaskets for signs of leakage
- Verify proper turbocharger alignment and balancing
- Check compressor and turbine housing for signs of overheating or damage
- Inspect nozzle rings and turbine blades for wear or damage
- Verify proper function of turbocharger control systems
- Check for any signs of corrosion or water ingress
