Turbochargers raise power and efficiency by using exhaust gas energy to compress the intake charge, allowing more fuel to be burned per cycle. This group covers turbochargers and components for Perkins engines. Perkins specifies turbochargers from established manufacturers across the 1100, 1200, 2000 and 4000 Series, with the correct unit determined by the engine build rather than the series alone. On generating sets, the most common pattern of turbocharger damage comes from extended light-load running: unburnt fuel and oil accumulate in the exhaust and turbine housing, a condition known as wet stacking, which fouls the turbine and can seize the wastegate. Periodic load bank testing clears this and is worth scheduling.

Extended light-load running leaves unburnt fuel and oil in the exhaust, fouling the turbine housing and wastegate. Periodic load bank testing at proper load clears the deposits.
The correct unit depends on the specific engine build rather than the series. The engine serial number identifies it.
A restricted or carbonised oil drain line, contaminated oil, or debris remaining from the previous failure. The cause must be found before fitting a new unit.
