Turbo additive

Turbo additives are chemical products, which allow to maintain turbocharger parameters, set by the manufacturer, maximally long. Moreover, many of these products prevent the premature wear-out of turbocharged engines.

Types of turbo additives

By correspondence to certain engine type there are additives for cars:

• with petrol engines;
• with diesel engines;
• multi-purpose.

Also the additives differ by functions. The most popular products are divided into:

• Protective. These products prevent metal oxidation and oil burning in conditions of extreme temperatures, which occur during the turbocharger operation, reduce the wear-out of engine and turbocharger elements.
• Cleaning. They eliminate harmful deposits, including tars, soot, oils and varnish. Use of such products results in restoring the power and prolonging operational lifetime of the turbocharger, increasing the engine efficiency, optimizing the air-fuel ratio.
• Restoring. Such additives fill out the fine irregularities and can restore factory clearances to plain bearings, if their wear-out is not critical.

The additives are made to be added into the fuel, motor oil, or to be applied on turbocharger parts. Additives are manufactured in spray cans, bottles and cans of various volumes.

Composition

A set of components, the product is made from, is defined by its purpose. For example, the protective turbocharger additives contain anti-scoring agents, which often include phosphorus and zinc. The restoring additives can include micro-ceramic particles, which fill out irregularities. Also, molybdenum disulphide, which efficiently lowers the friction, thus slowing wear-out of turbine components, is often used in additives. Moreover, these products include components, which assure firm adhesion of the compound to metal, for instance, boron nitride.

Tips on using turbo additives

Buying additives for the turbocharger system, it is important to take into account their influence on the motor oil properties, air filter, catalytic converter, components of the power unit. You need to follow product use instructions strictly when performing treatment with additives. For instance, using the products, which do not require demounting of the turbocharger, it is important to set and maintain the proper engine operation mode. When it comes to a product for cleaning the demounted and disassembled turbocharger, one should pay special attention to how long the compound should stay on the parts, how many times it should be applied and in what way removed.

Before using a liquid additive, which is added to the motor oil, you should learn from the instruction if total replacement of the lubricant is required. This and other information, including tips on optimal usage intervals, can be found in the usage guide to the exact product.
