Included accessories depend on the turbocharger model and product offer. Customers should check the product description or contact MuchBoost before ordering.

Common mistakes include poor oil supply preparation, contaminated oil, incorrect priming, old or blocked lines, wrong ECU calibration, boost leaks and ignoring supporting hardware requirements.

Before installing an upgraded turbo, the car should be mechanically healthy, serviced with quality oil and filters, checked for boost leaks, and prepared with proper supporting modifications and ECU tuning.

After installation, the turbo should be properly primed with oil, checked for leaks, warmed up carefully and used gently during the first driving period. Full boost should be avoided until the setup is verified.

An upgraded turbo can last a long time when it is installed correctly, tuned properly, supplied with clean oil, cooled down after hard use and maintained according to good performance-car practice.

Recommended maintenance includes regular oil and filter changes, checking boost leaks, monitoring engine parameters, inspecting intake and exhaust connections, and using high-quality fuel and proper ECU calibration.

A newly installed turbo can be damaged by oil starvation, contaminated oil, incorrect installation, foreign objects, boost leaks, poor tuning, excessive exhaust temperatures or lack of proper priming.

A billet compressor wheel is CNC-machined from solid material and is usually lighter and stronger than a cast wheel. Lighter rotating parts can help improve spool, while stronger material is better suited to higher boost and performance use.
