RP 2188 - Turbo Guard Oil Feed for Diesels

WHY DO YOU NEED A TURBO GUARD
Hot engine shut-downs and cold start-ups are the prime cause of turbocharger failure. Revving the engine before full oil pressure is achieved can cause serious problems to the turbocharger - particularly in colder weather climates.
Just as serious is the effect of shutting down the engine while it is still hot. Shutting the engine down immediately after a run stops the oil pump and thus the oil flow to the turbocharger. In fact oil that is left in the turbocharger bearings can form a carbon and varnish build-up. These problems can be worse if a vhicle is frequently started and stopped - as with some delivery vehicles.

TURBO GUARD
Specifically designed to overcome these problems - it provides pressurised oil to the turbocharger at all times the engine is operating. When the turbocharger is not operating the oil is still present in the system, ready to be distributed immediately on start-up.

HOW TURBO GUARD WORKS
The TURBO GUARD consists of a oil reservoir that connects the oil line feed to the turbocharger. A check valve permits pressurised oil to flow into the reservior providing an immediate supply of oil to the turbocharger at shut-down and start-up.

INSTALLATION
Only requires the fitting of a mounting bracket, adding a fitting into the inlet oil line and make a hose connection - this can be carries out in less than an hour by any competent DIY mechanic.
