If a failure occurs during the warranty period, contact us with your order number. If confirmed, we'll repair or replace the item at no cost. Labor and incidental costs are not covered.

Over 90% of turbo failures are due to oil-related issues. Common causes include:

Always diagnose the root cause of your previous failure before installing a replacement.

• Oil starvation or low oil pressure
• Contamination (dirty oil or debris)
• Blocked oil feed or return lines
• Excessive exhaust temps from lean tuning

A turbo needs no break-in mileage. What it needs is oil at the bearings before it spins, so follow these first-start steps:

• Crank the engine without fuel/ignition for 10–15 seconds to build oil pressure
• Let the engine idle for 2–3 minutes after first startup and check for oil or coolant leaks before driving

Follow these tips to maximize turbo life:

A well-maintained turbo can last 100,000+ miles.

• Use high-quality synthetic oil and change it regularly
• Let the engine idle for 30–60 seconds before shutdown
• Clean your air filter often
• Avoid running lean or over-boosting on tuned setups

Check the fitment notes on each product page. You can also send us your VIN, year/make/model, or OEM part number and we'll confirm compatibility.
