More horse power equals more fun while driving your vehicle in its element. Powersports vehicles are typically under powered for the way we use them, and a turbo system is the best bang for your money when it comes upgrading the engine.
Increased Power: Turbocharging can significantly boost the power output of an engine. By compressing the intake air and forcing more air into the combustion chamber, a turbocharger allows the engine to burn more fuel, resulting in increased horsepower and torque. This appeals to enthusiasts who seek enhanced performance and acceleration in their powersports vehicles.
Performance Upgrade: Adding a turbo system can transform a stock powersports vehicle into a high-performance machine. The increased power and torque provided by the turbocharger can improve acceleration, top speed, and overall performance. For enthusiasts who enjoy racing, off-roading, or pushing the limits of their vehicles, a turbo system can deliver an exhilarating experience.
Altitude Compensation: Powersports activities often take place in various terrains, including high-altitude locations. At higher elevations, the air density decreases, which can cause naturally aspirated engines to lose power. Turbocharging can help compensate for this loss by compressing the thinner air, allowing the engine to maintain its performance even at high altitudes. This feature is particularly appealing to enthusiasts who frequently ride or drive in mountainous regions.
Engine Downsizing: In recent years, there has been a trend toward downsizing engines while maintaining or improving performance. By using a smaller engine with a turbocharger, manufacturers can achieve a balance between power and fuel efficiency. Powersports enthusiasts may consider a turbo system to upgrade their vehicles with smaller, more efficient engines that still deliver impressive performance.
Customization and Personalization: For many powersports enthusiasts, modifying and customizing their vehicles is an important part of the hobby. Adding a turbo system allows them to personalize their ride, increase its power, and stand out from the crowd. The ability to fine-tune the turbocharger setup, adjust boost levels, and customize other aspects of the system appeals to those who enjoy tinkering with their machines and optimizing their performance.
Competitive Advantage: In competitive powersports events, such as motorcycle or ATV racing, having a turbocharged engine can provide a significant advantage. The extra power and torque can help racers gain an edge over their opponents, leading to improved lap times and race results. For enthusiasts who participate in motorsports competitions, a turbo system can be a valuable asset.
Adding a turbocharger to a vehicle can significantly increase its performance, but it also introduces additional maintenance requirements. Here are some of the extra maintenance tasks you may need to consider after installing a turbo:
Oil Changes: Turbocharged engines generate more heat, and the turbo relies on a supply of clean and properly lubricated oil to function effectively. It's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for oil change intervals and use a high-quality synthetic oil suitable for turbocharged engines.
Coolant System: Turbos generate heat, and efficient cooling is crucial to prevent overheating and potential damage. Ensure that your vehicle's cooling system is in good condition, with regular inspections and maintenance of the radiator, coolant levels, and coolant hoses.
Air Filter: The turbocharger draws in a larger volume of air to generate extra power. Regularly inspect and clean or replace the air filter to prevent any debris or contaminants from entering the turbocharger and the engine.
Exhaust System: Turbochargers increase exhaust gas flow, so it's important to check the exhaust system for leaks or damage. Any leaks or restrictions can affect performance and potentially damage the turbocharger.
Boost Control System: The boost control system regulates the amount of pressure generated by the turbocharger. It's essential to monitor and maintain the boost control system, including the wastegate, vacuum lines, and intercooler, to ensure proper operation and prevent overboost or underboost conditions.
Spark Plugs and Ignition System: The increased air pressure and heat generated by the turbocharger may require a different heat range for the spark plugs. Consult with a professional or the turbocharger manufacturer to determine the optimal spark plug specifications. Additionally, ensure that the ignition system is in good condition to support the increased demands on the engine.
The service requirements of a turbo system depend on the specific type and design of the turbocharger, as well as the engine it is installed on. However, there are some common service requirements that are typically associated with turbo systems. Here are a few important considerations:
Lubrication: Turbochargers require a continuous supply of clean and high-quality oil for proper lubrication. Regular oil changes and using the recommended oil type and grade are essential to prevent damage to the turbocharger bearings and other components. We recommend changing oil in 1/2 cycles to the recommended manufacture specs.
Cooling: Turbochargers generate a significant amount of heat during operation. Proper cooling is crucial to maintain optimal performance and prevent overheating. The engine's cooling system should be in good condition, and the turbocharger may also have its own cooling mechanisms, such as oil or water cooling.
Air filtration: Clean air is essential for the proper functioning of a turbo system. It is important to regularly inspect and replace the air filter to prevent contaminants from entering the turbocharger and potentially causing damage.
Regular inspections and maintenance: Turbochargers should be inspected periodically for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks. It is important to check for loose connections, damaged hoses, and ensure that the turbocharger is securely mounted.
Warm-up and cool-down periods: It is recommended to allow the turbocharger to warm up and cool down properly during engine operation. This helps to minimize stress on the turbo system and extend its lifespan. Abruptly shutting off the engine after heavy use can cause the oil inside the turbocharger to degrade and form deposits, leading to potential damage.
Avoiding excessive loads and abuse: Turbochargers are designed to operate within specific limits. Subjecting the turbo system to excessive boost pressures, prolonged periods of high load, or extreme driving conditions can put excessive strain on the components and lead to premature failure.

There could be seven reasons:
#1 The turbo manufacturer pre-lubes the turbo from the factory, this lube needs to burn off. This oil-burning would show up as a light smoking out of the exhaust and smell of new parts, which should quickly stop.
#2 Check that there are no bellies or ups-and-downs in your oil drain line. Your oil drain line should gravity feed oil to the oil return or scavenge pump.
#3 Too much oil in the engine.
#4 Low compression on the motor. If you have a cylinder with low compression, the boost pressure and combustion pressure can fill the engine's oil pan/ sump with excess pressure, pushing the incoming oil backward and not letting it drain back into the pan/sump.
If you have an oil scavenge pump on your turbo system:
#5 Check the fuse that runs the oils scavenge pump. The pump will need a 15 amp fuse.
#6 Make sure the oil scavenge pump is working correctly, and the oil is pushing through the scavenge pump in the correct direction. The oil scavenge pump should suck oil from the turbo and pump the oil back to the engine oil pan/ sump. If the pump is running in the opposite direction, change the polarity of the oil pump to reverse the oil pumping direction. Call or email Force Turbos at 801-807-8046 or .
#7 A ball-bearing turbocharger should have an oil pressure of 40 – 45 psi at maximum engine speed. If you have more oil pressure than that, oil could push past your piston ring seals into the turbo compressor or exhaust turbine housing. If you have high oil pressure, a pressure regulator may need to be installed to reduce oil pressure.
