This product is a collection of components designed to restore a specific type of turbocharger to its original operating condition. It typically includes seals, bearings, O-rings, and other wear items that degrade over time due to heat, pressure, and friction within the turbocharger. As an example, a kit might contain journal bearings, a thrust bearing, piston ring seals, and various gaskets necessary for a complete overhaul.
Employing this set of parts offers several advantages, including cost savings compared to purchasing a completely new turbocharger. Furthermore, it extends the lifespan of the existing turbocharger, contributing to improved engine performance and efficiency. Historically, these kits became popular as a cost-effective solution for maintaining and repairing turbochargers in various automotive and industrial applications.
