Components of a Turbo charging system

This will help you understand why The German Auto Doctor has helped so many owners get the most power out of their vehicle.

  • Turbo Manifold
  • Intake Plenum/Manifold
  • Intercooler
  • Style and sizing of the intercooler
  • Charge Pipe Size and shape
  • Downpipe
  • Injector sizing
  • Exhaust
  • Meth and water injection

The bottom line is you want to increase performance by adding more HP.

In the past, you would only buy and install a new and bigger supercharger which is more expensive than other options available.

Increase HP of your vehicle

by upgrading or increasing the efficiency of the components around the turbo or supercharger.

By increasing or upgrading…

  • Airflow by a cold air intake
  • A larger charge pipe
  • A larger downpipe
  • A larger more efficient intercooler
  • A DME Flash

By making these upgrades you will see a good HP bump and only invest HALF of what a new turbocharger system would cost you.

Then even if you did want to add a larger turbo later, these are things that will make it more efficient which will increase the efficiency around your turbo or supercharger.

Intercooler Upgrade

Heat is the enemy of any engine, heat is a byproduct of compressing intake air. By cooling down the compressed intake air charge coming from the turbocharger, lower induction temperatures are attained.

By increasing the capacity or efficiency of your intercooler you will achieve lower induction temperatures which will keep the heat at bay and get better performance of the motor.

So your components are great, and you want to install a new and or larger Turbo or Supercharger.

You need to be careful what you choose, there are reputable companies who build turbo and supercharger who have not updated turbine, compressor wheel and turbine housing technology in 20+ years.

By selecting a modern turbo or supercharger unit often times can include performance within the same space. So traditionally manufacturers such as Honeywell, Garrett, Mitsubishi, Turbonetics are not nearly as efficient as Precision Turbos and Borg-Warner

There are many different variables, so call for a free consultation of what works best for your vehicle.

Adding a NEW Turbo to a vehicle that does NOT have a turbo or supercharger now.

Only certain engines will benefit from a turbo or supercharger, the engine platform in the platform models below are typically robust engine models and lend themselves well to forced induction modifications.

We have specific knowledge and had successfully installed turbos on E30, E36, E46, E12, E28, E34, E39, E24, E9x (All E90’s), E10 Platforms.

After we add a turbo, we do specific tuning through Dyno tuning and ECU flashes with modifying air-fuel ratio to make sure your turbo melds well with the engine and performs efficiently.

Turbo or Supercharger Repair

In many cases, we can repair an existing by replacing the seals or changing out parts around your turbo or supercharger to make it more efficient.

If your system needs to be repaired, here are a few of the symptoms telling you that it needs attention.

  • Wastegate Rattle
  • Excessive Oil Consumption
  • Excessive Smoke out the exhaust
  • Loss of power

This is serious, we have seen this too many times. I’m not trying to scare you but I’m not going to sugar coat it.

As you know the turbo or superchargers job is to FORCE are into your engine. Meaning it has a direct connection to your engine so IF the turbo or supercharger fair or brake. Many times it produces metal fragments which swirl around inside of your forced induction system then get Forced directly into your engine.

Which means metal fragments get pushed or more accurately forced into your engine and can wreak havoc. So IF you think your turbo is having issues or any of the symptoms above, get it checked out ASAP.

It’s much less expensive to repair the seals or another component of your forced induction system. Then to rebuild your engine AND your turbo or supercharger.

If you have any questions about upgrading your turbo or supercharger, installing a new one or repairing a failed one.
