Before installation

• Check Engine Environment: Inspect intake, charge air, and exhaust areas for damage or foreign objects.
• Check Crankcase Ventilation, Oil Supply, and Oil Return: Verify tightness, blockages, and contamination.
• Use New Oil Lines: Replace oil supply and return lines, as well as engine oil and filters.

Oil supply

• Never use liquid sealants on oil lines – only use appropriate gaskets.

Air Intake

• Install a new air filter and clean the turbocharger intake pipe as well as the crankcase ventilation.
• Check the intercooler and exhaust manifold for oil or metal residues.

Crankcase Ventilation

• Blockages in crankcase ventilation can cause oil leaks in the turbocharger.
• If in doubt or in the event of previous damage, replace the crankcase ventilation system.

Installation

• Attach the turbocharger directly to the exhaust manifold or engine. Ensure all connections are flexible to avoid stress due to bending, pulling, or torsion.
• Check flanges and threads for damage and wear.
• Remove all protective caps on oil, air, and exhaust connections before installation.
• If possible, start the engine without ignition to build oil pressure.
• Tighten all screws according to the manufacturer's standard

Commissioning

• If possible, run the engine without ignition to build up oil pressure.
• For Porsche specifically: Actuators must be re-calibrated with the Porsche tester; the values are stored in the engine control unit. That´s why TTE Porsche upgrades are delivered without actuators mounted.
• For Bi-Turbo setups: Ensure actuators are synchronized. If not, send back to TTE to synchronize
• Check all oil, air, and gas connections for tightness.

After installation

• Heat insulation: OEM heat insulation may emit smoke when first started up. The smoke should dissipate after the first actual test drive (not on the test stand).
• In case of issues like lack of performance or oil loss, check all turbocharger-related components (e.g., catalytic converter, particulate filter) for tightness and functionality.
