Tour 2

Individual components are moved in large batches for either a further cleaning process or to Turbo Technics engineering works for reclamation. Extensive use is made of in-house machining facilities in the refurbishment of components, and in some cases the manufacture of new component parts.

	Turbo Technics machinery workshops are operated by a very experienced workforce. A high degree of accuracy is required on many turbo components, and with fully computerised milling and turning operations, these high standards are maintained over thousands of machined components.

All turbocharger components are minutely inspected, and wearing parts are replaced as a matter of course. Components not meeting the required standards set by Turbo Technics are replaced with brand new items. To achieve the high standard set by ourselves, only brand new bearing and seals are used throughout. Housings are machined, actuators tested, wastegates overhauled, bearing housings inspected and turbine wheels examined.

	Many items will not pass the close scrutiny of the tests and measurements conducted at this stage, and will subsequently be rejected. Approximately 60% of components will be reclaimed and will proceed to a final cleaning process, followed by quality control, and finally, ending in a Turbo Technics Service exchange turbocharger.
