Turbo Actuator

Turbo actuators are responsible for controlling turbocharger boost output. At Turbo Vanes we know the crucial importance of turbo actuators, that’s why we provide you with top-quality aftermarket turbo parts that meet or exceed the original manufacturer specifications. Our wastegate turbo actuators guarantee unsurpassed performance and reliability.

Turbo actuators are usually driven by engine vacuum, that way the wastegate valve regulates the exhaust flow depending on engine load.

Since turbo actuators are exposed to the extreme temperatures coming from engine exhaust, Turbo Vanes pays special attention in providing only turbo actuators parts from renowned brands to ensure their reliability under such unfavorable conditions.

By using the appropriate turbo actuators you avoid the risk of turbo over-boost or under-boost conditions. A faulty turbo actuator can severely limit engine power and fuel economy thus using top quality parts is important.

At Turbo Vanes we are committed to offering you only the best turbo actuators from the best aftermarket suppliers such as:

• HELLA
• Continental
• Mitsubishi
• Garrett
• BorgWarner

Browse confidently our comprehensive selection of turbo actuators, choose one that fits your vehicle specifications and leave the rest to us. Before you even notice it you will have your new turbo actuator at the location of your choice.

TURBO PROBLEMS AND FAQS What does it mean when your car goes into Limp Mode? You can think of “Limp Mode” as an “emergency mode” used by your vehicle Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to protect the engine and transmission from serious damage. The “Limp Mode” feature programmed in the ECU can reduce engine power, turn off A/C, and sometimes manipulates the automatic transmission to allow you to drive the car safely. If the Check Engine Light is lit or the information center is showing up a warning message, then we strongly suggest to pull over or drive to the closest repair shop. Driving for prolonged periods of time in Limp mode may cause major mechanical breakdowns to the engine and/or transmission. It’s safe to drive my car in Limp mode? Absolutely. The Limp mode allows you to drive your vehicle (with reduced power) so you can reach your destination. Once you get home or any other safe place, it’s strongly suggested to book a visit with a local repair shop to diagnose the root of the problem.

(Common Causes and Solutions) Turbo overboost most common causes are air leaks, damage on turbo internal parts, debris impacting the turbo, a blocked VNT mechanism, or wrong turbo actuator settings. With the exception of air leaks that can be easily fixed changing the appropriate gaskets, most of these issues will require repairing and/or replacing your turbocharger or turbocharger internal parts. What causes a turbo low boost? (Common Causes and Solutions) An underperforming turbo boost is commonly caused by air leaks, a clogged air filter, damage on turbo internal parts, worn engine components, a blocked VNT mechanism, or a restricted turbo air pipe connection. Air leaks, air filter, and air pipe issues can be easily fixed by a competent mechanic, however, the rest of these issues will require repairing and/or replacing your turbocharger or turbocharger internal parts. What are the VNT turbo vanes? VNT turbo vanes consist of a mechanism inside the turbocharger that helps to decrease engine lag at low RPM as well as preventing turbo overboost at high RPM. To achieve this goal, turbo vanes are operated by a turbo actuator (either vacuum-operated or electronically controlled by the ECU) to increase or reduce exhaust flow. facebook google twitter contact faqs news
