A collection of components designed to restore a specific model of turbocharger to optimal working condition. This typically includes replacement bearings, seals, O-rings, and other wear items. The parts are selected to match the precise specifications of the turbocharger and facilitate its complete overhaul.For example, a mechanic might use this to refurbish a worn turbocharger instead of replacing it entirely.
Employing such a set provides a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new unit, extending the lifespan of the existing turbocharger. Historically, these sets have become increasingly available as demand for turbocharger maintenance has grown, especially within performance automotive and heavy-duty diesel applications. This proactive maintenance reduces downtime and maintains vehicle performance.
