TURBOCHARGER 6G – 3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The turbocharger internal mechanism consists of the turbine wheel, the compressor wheel, and the radial bearings.
These parts are supported by the bearing housing.
The turbocharger external mechanism consists of the compressor housing air intake port and the turbine housing
air exhaust port.
The turbocharger increases air intake efficiency. This results in increased engine power, reduced fuel consumption,
and minimal engine noise.
The turbocharger operates at very high speeds and temperatures. Part materials have been carefully selected and
machined to extremely high precision.
Turbocharger servicing requires great care and expertise.
If reduced performance is noted, check the engine for damage or wear. If there is no apparent engine damage or
wear, trouble with the turbocharger is indicated.
