Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my turbo is failing in Hyderabad?
Turbo failure signs: 1) Whistling sound that changes pitch with RPM (turbo compressor wheel contact with housing), 2) Blue or grey smoke under heavy acceleration (oil leaking into turbo), 3) Loss of power specifically at higher RPM when boost should be building, 4) Visible oil in the intercooler pipe (normal: traces OK, heavy oil = turbo seal failure). Metre Per Second performs a turbo shaft play measurement and boost pressure test to quantify turbo health.
