What is a turbo cartridge?

Along with the turbo line from Jrone, we also offer the center housing rotating assembly, or turbo cartridge. Now, the center housing rotating assembly is going to give you your turbine wheel, your compressor wheel, and your bearing housing, all VSR balanced on the Turbo Technics machine. They'll all come with a balance sheet in the bag with the center housing rotating assembly.

A center housing rotating assembly allows you to save money on your repair. You don't need to replace the whole turbo every time it fails. As long as your compressor housing and your turbine housing aren't damaged, cracked, broken, or something like that, you can take the exhaust housing off, take your compressor housing off, and bolt those to a center housing rotating assembly. This essentially gives you a brand new turbo.

This gives you the opportunity to save a bunch of money and have an equal repair when you put it back together. The center housing rotating assembly also comes with a one-year warranty and is fully VSR balanced on the Turbo Technics machine. You'll get that sheet included. It's gong to be a great way to save a few bucks and get your turbo back together. 

Not sure if your turbo repair is going to need a complete turbo or if a cartridge will do the trick?

When would I need a turbo cartridge instead of a turbocharger?

 

 

 

 

As we mentioned, this particular line is manufactured by Jrone, who is very well known for their precision equipment, especially when it comes to turbochargers and parts availability.

The turbocharger is a very precise component in a turbo engine. It's highly balanced because it turns so fast. It can reach RPMs of 120,000, so it needs to be balanced very carefully. So if there is damage like a bent fin on either side of the turbocharger that causes an imbalance, it'll self-destruct. That would be a reason why you would want to replace the entire turbocharger. 

If a small stone or something along that line got in on the compressor side, or if a piece of the internal parts of the engine got into the exhaust side of the turbocharger, it may have caused some damage. But it generally doesn't do any damage to the housings. They are pretty robust, so they can take a little bit of grief. You'll still definitely want to inspect them before making a decision. "Well, I can just sneak a cartridge into my old housing and I should be good." Maybe. Maybe not. You want to make sure that the integrity of both housings are in good condition. If that's the case, a cartridge is the way to go.
