What should I know about installation and post-install checks?

This turbo is intended for experienced DIYers or professional shops; correct torque, oil supply and pre-lubrication steps are important for longevity. After install, inspect for leaks and verify oil pressure and boost behavior before returning the vehicle to full use.

• Follow OEM torque specs and gasket replacement procedures
• Prime the turbo with oil before first start-up to avoid dry starts
• Check all clamps and connections for leaks after initial run
• Monitor for unusual noises, smoke or low oil pressure and address immediately
