The new turbocharged engines are the mainstays of all late model automobiles as you may noticed lately, everywhere you look literally every manufacturer only produces turbo engines.
We used to associate turbo engines with performance cars or high performance machines. That is no longer the case, today every manufacturer switched to turbo chargers to literally downsize their engines and to boost their efficiency by reducing the pumping losses.

Thanks to ever tightening emission and reduced fuel consumption regulations we live in a new turbo era.
There are a few things you need to remember, if you want to have your turbo charger to last.
You need to use the best possible motor oil and some additional precautions like after long drives or spirited driving, you should open your hood for a few minutes to allow the turbo charger to went all that heat out .
Yes, all of them has a additional small dedicated water pump to help shed all the heat from the turbos, except it takes much longer with all that heat trapped under the hood, so wenting it out reduces the heat stress on many components other than just the turbo charger.
The egine’s coolant also should be refreshed in every five years in most cases as a preventative maintenance, as there are no fluids exist which last forever. Please make sure the type and composition of the coolant is proprietary for most manufacturers so it’s absolutely essential to use the proper type of coolant to prevent cooling system degradation and corrosion.
Please inquire within if you are unsure which fluid belongs to which make and model. Sometimes there are clearly visible differentiation like BMW uses a blue color so does Mercedes Benz. Porsche uses a pink coolant older Mercedes uses a yellow coolant, each has their unique chemical composition and should not be mixed in any event.
We recommend professional assistance if unsure about the proper fluid for the make and model of your vehicle.
