If you’re needing to install a new turbocharger, you probably have some questions, especially if you’re replacing a variable geometry turbocharger.
VGTs tend to make people nervous. They’re a little more complicated than the standard turbo, which can scare some people.
We’re here to help! We want to bring you the best possible information about VGTs to help you install your turbo with confidence.
In this article, we’re going through some guidelines to follow when you’re installing your VGT, as well as some advantages they bring to your diesel engine.
VGT Installation Guidelines
When you’re installing diesel engine parts, sometimes you might find you need a little help knowing the proper procedure.
That’s just what you’ll get when you order a turbo from Highway & Heavy Parts. You’ll not only get your part number and serial number, but you’ll also be getting some informational and cautionary items.
Information That’s Included
One thing that’s noted when you receive your turbo is to make sure you’re following the service parts topics when you’re installing it. This will help ensure that you follow proper protocol and help prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Another item will note to make sure the correct oils are used, and that the DPF filters are cleaned. Those topics are available, and they’re on the outside of the box.
These topics are also going to be inside the box: on the bag as well as on a tag on the turbo itself. It’s in so many places because we’re serious about following the guidelines to help prevent problems later on.
What Makes Our Turbos Different
A lot of turbos you order aren’t going to have that information provided for you, increasing the risk of improper installation and future problems.
If you need the service parts topics, we have copies we can email to you, so you can have them on hand.
We’re also happy to walk you through those service parts topics and what the benefits of following them are. Just give us a call!
We believe it will help give you the best life out of your turbo.
VGT Advantages
Many people still think that VGTs are more trouble than they’re worth. But, there’s actually quite a few advantages to them.
A VGT can be both a big and a small turbo, giving your a broad torque curve. This allows for better engine performance, especially with heavy loads.
A VGT also helps give you better engine braking. It does this by choking off the exhaust housing, which in turn slows the truck down better.
Properly replacing your VGT also helps to avoid the problems that comes with deleting, including fines and other penalties. Deleting also means you’ll be banned from operating in states with strict regulations.
If you delete, you’re also limiting the amount of shops that will work on your engine. This means that you might not be able to get a repair done quickly, or well.
