Turbocharger Repair and Replacement
SA Turbo offers both repairs and replacements of a wide range of turbochargers. Each turbocharger that enters our workshops is checked comprehensively to ensure all components are measured and comply with manufacturer’s standards for optimal performance. This testing includes checking every component of the turbocharger in its assembled state at real time operational performance. This is critical in diagnosing the root-cause of a problem under simulated operational conditions, thereby eliminating costly mistakes.
We place an emphasis on identifying the reason that a turbocharger has failed. This allows our experienced technical team to provide meaningful feedback to our customers so that targeted corrective measures can be taken to prevent repeat failure. This gives our customers peace of mind in ensuring that their fleets are kept operational and on the road, where they belong. SA Turbo customers have the right to an informed decision as to how each turbocharger is repaired.

Turbocharger Testing and Calibration
SA Turbo uses cutting-edge technology to test real-time operational performance of your turbocharger. Assembled turbochargers are tested on our state of the art flow bench that is able to simulate rotational speeds the turbocharger reaches during its operating life. This takes the guess work out of which component, if any, is in fact faulty.
Testing and Calibration services offered include the following:
- Turbocharger leak detection at real-time operating speeds
- Turbocharger boost pressure and volume measurements recorded during its rotational acceleration curve, ensuring that the precise final calibration of the turbocharger has been reached. These tests can be carried out on both VNT and waist gated turbochargers.
- Component balancing for all turbocharger rotating assembly parts
- Cartridge balance calibration by means of a Vibration Sorting Rig (VSR)
- VSR testing can be done up to 250,000 rpm
