A faulty turbo wrecks the engine in weeks
When a turbo starts to fail (whistling, blue smoke, loss of power, oil consumption, emergency mode), each subsequent start accelerates the problem. The oil burned by the turbo enters the catalytic converter, saturates the DPF and can damage valves and injectors. What today it's 580 ? + VAT of professional repair, in 4-8 weeks it easily becomes 2,500 - 6,000 ? of chained breakdowns.

All prices + VAT. Pre-diagnosis from 49 ? + VAT with us. We'll tell you honestly if your turbo can be repaired, needs replacing, or can be upgraded to a hybrid, depending on its condition.

unique in Mallorca with balancing bench + professional hybridization
We don't improvise with turbos. We have the tools that other workshops don't: ultrasonic cleaning machine specifically for turbos, high-speed shaft balancing bench, compressors and hybrid cartridges from OEM suppliers (BorgWarner, Garrett, Mitsubishi).
We repair yours or we provide you with an oversized hybrid turbo
For repair: ultrasonic cleaning of housings, replacement of bearings and seals, ground shaft and balancing at 250,000 rpm on a professional bench. Result: the turbo returns to factory condition with a 6-month warranty.
For hybridisation: larger compressor + balanced hybrid cartridge + compatible ECU reprogramming. Stage 2 +25-40% power, Stage 3 +50-80%. Without losing DPF or failing emissions (street legal except Stage 3 track).
In Mallorca, we are one of the few workshops with this combination available to the end customer.

Most common OBD errors related to the turbo
The codes we see in the workshop when a car comes in with a turbo problem.
Low turbo boost
- Cause
- Turbo not generating pressure. Stuck variable geometry vanes, intake leak, faulty MAP sensor.
- Solution
- Pressure diagnosis + cleaning if VGT stuck, rebuild if shaft worn.
Excessive turbo overboost
- Cause
- VGT open too much due to failing electronic actuator or wastegate leak.
- Solution
- Check actuator + replace if necessary, recalibrate variable geometry.
Turbo system performance
- Cause
- Turbo behavior outside expected map. Obstructed geometry or shaft play.
- Solution
- Cleaning + diagnosis + rebuild if mechanical damage.
Turbo control solenoid circuit
- Cause
- Defective VGT electric actuator, wiring, or ECU.
- Solution
- Actuator verification, OEM replacement if out of range.
Turbo boost actuator circuit
- Cause
- Electric turbo pressure actuator fault. It's usually the electric actuator.
- Solution
- OEM diagnosis + actuator replacement if failure is confirmed.
Alternating pressure increase + decrease
- Cause
- VGT with mechanical play, partially stuck geometry. Classic worn turbo case.
- Solution
- Full rebuild or replacement depending on condition.

Technical specialists in turbocharging
What do we do? Diagnosis, cleaning, reconstruction, replacement, and hybridization of turbochargers for diesel and petrol engines, from commercial to super premium.
How do we work? We always start with OEM diagnosis + pressure test + endoscopic inspection. We identify if your turbo is repairable, requires replacement, or allows for hybridization according to your goals.
Why is it critical not to wait with a turbo? A faulty turbo burns oil, clogs the DPF, damages the EGR, and can cook the engine. The sooner you intervene, the cheaper it is and the more options you have.
