Care must be taken not to damage the turbocharger compressor inlet air temperature sensor, the turbocharger speed sensor, and the turbocharger actuator coolant lines when installing the turbocharger.

Install a new gasket, the turbocharger, and the four mounting nuts. Tighten the mounting nuts.

  • Install the wastegate actuator hose. Refer to Procedure 010-050 in Section 10.
  • Start and operate the engine until the coolant temperature reaches 82°C [180°F] and check for air, coolant, and oil leaks.

 CAUTION 

Turbocharger speed sensor harness and turbocharger compressor inlet air temperature sensor harnesses must be tied securely and away from heat sources, such as the exhaust manifold and exhaust pressure sensor tube. Failure to do so can cause damage to the sensor harness.
 CAUTION 

The turbocharger compressor inlet air temperature sensor must be positioned so the sensor body is pointing up and away from the exhaust manifold. Failure to do so can cause sensor damage.
 CAUTION 

Do not twist coolant lines while tightening. Failure to do so will damage coolant lines.
