What causes a turbo to leak in a car?
Turbos are not a new trend; many applications have been on the roads for more than a decade. The three things all of these engines have in common are intercoolers, plumbing to connect the turbo to the engine, and valves to control boost and turbine speed. The signs of a leaking turbocharger system start with a lack of power or random misfires.
What do I need to convert an 85-87 Turbo to a turbo?
Extra Logic Module pins with about 4-6 inches of wire (LM plug from junkyard car will do) 4 wire AIS and 3 wire TPS connectors from 88-93 FWD Mopar with 2.2/2.5/3.0 engine. (87 conversions will only need the AIS plug, your already using the newer TPS connector)
What are the signs of a leaking turbocharger?
The signs of a leaking turbocharger system start with a lack of power or random misfires. In some cases, the escaping boost pressure can be heard. But, if the wastegate or bypass valves are leaking, you might not hear any noise. If you get a vehicle in that is not generating enough boost, don’t automatically assume it is the turbocharger.
What causes a wastegate to leak in a turbocharger?
Wastegate leaks are typically caused by poor actuation of the wastegate caused by a weak spring or the line feeding pressure to the actuator. But, it is possible the valve and arm can be damaged. A leaking wastegate will prevent the turbocharger from spooling up and the compressor from building boost. This will result in a loss of power.

Is there a turbo kit for a 2.2L car?
This turbo kit is capable of a lot more but it would require a higher flowing catback exhaust and a boost controller to turn up the boost. Engine: If you select 2.4L then the kit will come with a higher bar MAP sensor. If you select ’05-06 2.2L the kit will come without the MAP sensor.
