What is the Reconditioning Process?
The used turbocharger is thoroughly inspected for damage. This includes checking the compressor, turbine, and other internal components for wear or failure.
All parts are cleaned thoroughly to remove dirt, oil, and other contaminants. This often involves using specialised cleaning methods like chemical baths or ultrasonic cleaners.
Components that are worn out or damaged are replaced with new ones. This usually includes bearings, seals, and sometimes the compressor wheel or turbine.
Turbochargers operate at very high speeds, so it’s crucial that they are properly balanced. The reconditioned turbo is balanced to ensure smooth operation and to prevent premature wear. We have a state of the art facility that allows us to test performance above standard turbo manufacture standards. The turbocharger is tested to ensure it meets performance specifications. This may include tests for leaks, balance, and pressure.
The final product is also checked for quality and reliability, ensuring it meets or exceeds OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) standards.

We support turbo systems for all leading makes and models.

What Are The Benefits Of Choosing A Reconditioned Turbocharger From Essex Turbo?
Cost Effective Exchange Turbos
Reconditioned turbos offer several benefits, making them a valuable option for many vehicle owners. They are particularly cost-effective, offering a more affordable alternative to purchasing brand new turbochargers. This cost efficiency does not come at the expense of quality, as reputable specialists ensure that these turbos are thoroughly inspected, repaired, and tested to meet high standards. Often, any worn or damaged parts are replaced with new, high-quality components, ensuring the turbocharger is as reliable as a new one.
Optimum Performance & Warranty
In terms of performance, reconditioned turbos are designed to deliver an output comparable to new units, allowing drivers to enjoy the increased power and efficiency typical of turbocharged engines without a noticeable compromise in performance. Moreover, many reconditioned turbos come with warranties, providing an added layer of security and support similar to what one would expect when purchasing new. However, it’s crucial for buyers to select a reputable supplier to ensure the turbocharger is reconditioned to a high standard, which minimises the risk of future issues.
Great Selection Of Remanufactured Turbos Available
Reconditioned and refurbished turbos are especially useful for older or less common vehicle models, where new turbochargers might not be readily available or would require production of new parts. For this reason, choosing reconditioned turbos is also a relatively environmentally friendly option because it involves recycling and reusing existing components, which reduces waste and lessens the demand for new raw materials.
