I am considering purchasing a Toyota Supra and have heard about some potential issues with the turbocharger system. Can anyone provide more information on what these issues are and how to prevent or fix them?
ReplyOne common issue with the Supra's turbocharger system is debris buildup in the turbo, causing decreased performance and potential damage. To prevent this, make sure to change your oil frequently and use high-quality oil filters. If you do experience buildup, take your car to a reputable mechanic who specializes in Supras and have them clean out the turbo.
Another issue is boost leak, which can cause the turbo to work harder and potentially fail. To prevent this, regularly check and replace any damaged or worn hoses that connect to the turbo. If you suspect a boost leak, have it checked and fixed as soon as possible to avoid further damage.
Some Supra owners have also reported issues with the wastegate actuator, which controls the amount of boost the turbo produces. To prevent this, make sure the wastegate is regularly cleaned and lubricated. If you do experience issues with the wastegate, it may need to be replaced by a professional.
