This is a HE551 turbocharger assembly, designed to force compressed air into the engine cylinders for increased power and efficiency. It is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of Volvo's D16 2-stage engines, ensuring optimal boost pressure and exhaust gas management. Symptoms of a failing turbocharger include a noticeable loss of engine power, excessive smoke from the exhaust, and a whining or whistling sound that increases with engine RPM.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
A failing turbocharger will first manifest as a significant reduction in engine power and responsiveness, often accompanied by increased exhaust smoke. If ignored, the turbocharger can begin to make grinding or whining noises, and oil consumption may increase as seals fail. The ultimate consequence of a severely damaged turbocharger is a complete loss of boost, rendering the engine inoperable and potentially causing further internal engine damage.
Thoroughly clean the oil supply and return lines before installing the new turbocharger to prevent contamination. Always prime the new turbocharger with clean engine oil before initial startup to ensure proper lubrication.
Inspect the engine's air intake and exhaust systems for any leaks or restrictions, and check the condition of the engine oil and filter.
