Adding a turbo kit to your diesel not only makes it sounds better and run better, it can increase engine effiency, increase fuel mileage and extend the life of your engine. Turbo kits for diesels are easy to find and can be installed in one day, if you know what you are doing.
Make a list of all of your diesel's specifications. This should include make, model, year, engine type, engine size and any custom work that has already been done to the engine.
Understand what a turbo kit should include and the different kits available. Kits are divided mostly by make of the vehicle and sometimes by year or engine size. There may also be a horse power output that is listed with the kit, telling you how much horsepower could be added.
Shop manufacturer's online to compare kits, prices and shipping costs. Some of the top diesel turbo manufacturer's are: Banks Power, Garrett Turbos, Holset and Borg Warner. Make sure you are compare kits with the same products included for more accurate comparisons.
Call or visit your local auto parts and custom car parts shops for price and installation quotes. Prices could be cheaper absent the cost of shipping and handling.
Make sure all the parts are included, including the installation sheet when your kit arrives. This is important to do before the installation process, because if there are parts missing and you have started the project the company may not allow a refund or return.
