Yes, a restricted exhaust can cause turbo overboost. When the exhaust flow is restricted, it can lead to increased back pressure, which may prevent the turbocharger from properly regulating boost levels. As a result, the turbo may produce more boost than intended, potentially leading to overboost conditions and risking engine damage if not managed properly. Regular maintenance and monitoring of exhaust systems can help prevent such issues.
turbo overboost
For steam to come out the exhaust you probably have a bad head gasket or a cracked head. If the turbo had an oil seal fail it would cause blue smoke to come out the exhaust.
Sounds like a blown head gasket. Most likely caused from overboost of turbo.
no, the exhaust bolts on at a different place for turbo and non turbo engines you can probably use most of the exhaust but will have to get different engine pipes to hook up between engine and rest of exhaust
Turbo chargers are driven by the exhaust gases exiting the engine - engine exhaust drives a turbine in the exhaust system which, in turn, turn the turbo compressor.
the turbo is on the end of the exhaust manifold before the exhaust pipe starts .
blown turbo - worn turbo bearing causing oil to suck through and into exhaust manifold - results in no power and neat oil burning in the exhaust - major black smoke
The back of the turbo, is the turbine. It has the hot exhaust gases flowing thru it. The exhaust gases are 1000+ degrees f. and cause the steel to glow red/yellow when under load.
have a mechanic check your turbo.most will tell u that a turbo blows black smoke but can aslso blow white smoke when turbo is malfunctioning
Look on the exhaust system for the turbo unit.
It would be a waste of time and money. You would have to make a special adapter to hook the exhaust to the manifold. On a turbo header, the exhaust hooks to the turbo and the turbo to the manifold.
Attached to the exhaust manifold... Follow that and you will find the turbo.
