Regularly change your oil and filter according to manufacturer recommendations. Dirty oil can cause damage to the turbocharger.

E

Allow your engine to cool down before turning it off. This will prevent oil from clogging in the turbocharger, reducing its lifespan.

T

If you hear a whining or grinding noise coming from your turbocharger, make sure to have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible.

L

Avoid using low quality or contaminated fuel, as this can lead to buildup and damage in the turbocharger.

S

Consider investing in an aftermarket blow-off valve, which can help reduce stress on the turbocharger and improve performance.
