What Causes Low Boost? How Does A Turbocharger System Work?

[ufohakunamaka]

I just cant thank you enough for your excellent videos. I am diesel engine mechanic but with no deep knowledge of Caterpillar but since watch your videos, my knowledge has improved tremendously that my confidence has been restored. Once again, thanks a million

I’m glad I came across this old video. This may save me thousands of dollars on a turbocharger replacement on my box truck if I get a second opinion from a different mechanic. Thanks for sharing.

If the hose that goes to the turbo to the waste gate comes off will it then lose boost or will the boost go up very high like on the fast & furious like when Dom pulled the hose off with a piece of

Hello friend, I have a 2018 Ram 2500 with the code P0299 turbo under boost, I already changed filters, checked the variable geometry turbo and it slides well. I replaced my boost sensor but the pressure is 0.08 to 0.12 psi but it should read 2.5 psi. Would it be a matter of checking the intercooler?

You are a excellent explainer or teacher specialist on cats I’m always interested on all your videos since we all learned a lot from you thanks for your support 👍

I’m a newb trying to navigate the fundamentals of turbo charging, and this is hugely helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge here - I didn’t even know what a waste gate was two hours ago.

Can you make a video on converting a cat c15 mxs to a single turbo? Please

This Man knows his theory of how engines work and and he knows what makes it work he’s very detail to the dime I wish he lived close to me in GA.

When i got my little big truck the turbo wasnt spinning right. Was only doing anything at the very end of the rpm range. I didnt know there was a problem because i didnt have experience with the motor. Just figured thats how it was because it has no wastegate. I figured out it was coked up or whatever and wasnt allowing the compressor to spin freely untill i changed the oil, filters, etc and started driving it hard and then all a sudden the turbo spools ALOT quicker and builds longer. Amazing what basic maintanance can do. The truck sat for years. I use Delo 400 SDK oil, nothing fancy.

Good morning. I have a freightliner box truck with a CAT engine. It blew the CAC tube off of the turbo. Assuming it wasn't a loose or rusted clamp, what could cause this to happen? I had some ac work done at a shop. I'm wondering if they removed the tube to better access the ac lines passing under the tube and didn't tighten the clamp. Hopefully it's that simple.

Josh what a great video. Have been watching your videos for a long time missed this one. My 2000 non egr ISX has a horrible lag and crap boost. Now i know what to check. Thanks

Hi. I have a renault master 2.3. 2016 and when I start the engine or rev the engine the turbo pipe shrinks. What could be the causes?

[twostrokev]

Had a friend come to me to diagnose his dt466 powered international box truck. 4 shops and several thousand later his issue was resolved with replacing clamps on charge air cooler. Took me half an hour all I took as payment was a 12 pack off Coors. I think I made a future customer once in done with school!

[mairaguifarro]

Can you please tell me where is the turbocharged boost sensor located?

[matthewgalindo]

How do I know if my boost gauge is working its always been at 0 at I got truck turned up to 550 but it ain't pushing out 550

[Tbokcygnus]

I have acert C15. Twin turbo What your opinion on. Doing a single. Turbo. Conversion. Do. It or don’t ?

[vincetoscano]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!! I have a question, this is on a 2003 c12, I am seeing a oil leak around the oil cooler dripping on the ground but I can't see where it is exactly coming from. Any ideas?

Hi 👋
How much boost pressure that cat 🐈 c18 produce, can I know from the low pressure boost that there is problem on the turbocharger
