At Turbo Clinic Durban, we specialise in the professional removal of turbocharges for all kinds of passenger vehicles, bakkies, and off-road vehicles across Durban & KZN. Our family-owned workshop has been serving customers since 2001, providing fast, accurate diagnostic and turbo removal services while pinpointing root causes so we never replace a turbo unnecessarily.
Founded by Vinod Bickram in 2001, Turbo Clinic Durban features specialists trained by Garrett with over 30 years of turbocharger experience. Every technician is trained to the highest standards, ensuring your turbo removal is conducted expertly and efficiently.
Our advanced diagnostic equipment scans your vehicle’s ECU to identify turbo-related faults. If no genuine fault is found, we don’t remove or replace your turbocharger—saving you unnecessary expense.
Our modern workshop is fully equipped to accomplish turbo removal and refit on-site. We serve all vehicle types and guarantee fast turnaround: most turbo removals take just hours, not days.
We begin with ECU scanning and visual inspection to determine if turbo removal is actually required. We trace causes such as oil leaks, bearing wear, boost pressure irregularities, or foreign object damage.
Once a faulty turbo is confirmed, our trained mechanics remove it using OEM procedures. We take care to preserve surrounding components such as piping, intercooler, and actuator systems.
Removed units can be reconditioned with OEM-grade bearings, seals, and parts. Alternatively, exchange turbos or new OEM turbochargers are available, with a 12-month warranty for peace of mind.
After re-installing the turbocharger, rebalancing is performed using VSR core balancing technology (if applicable). We conduct full performance testing to ensure boost levels, engine response, and reliability are restored.
Cost-effective: Avoid unnecessary turbo change-outs if diagnostics don’t confirm damage.
Reliable: All mechanical work meets OEM standards using quality parts.
Fast turnaround: Most removals and reconditioning completed within 4–6 hours.
Warranty-backed: Turbo repairs and replacements include a 12-month warranty on workmanship and parts.
Common causes include lack of lubrication, oil contamination, foreign objects, overspeed or excessive temperature. That’s why accurate diagnostics before removal are vital.
Turbo removal and reconditioning typically takes 4 to 6 hours, allowing same-day return in most cases.
Not necessarily. If diagnostics show the turbo is working correctly, we won’t remove or replace it. We identify and fix root issues instead—saving you money and downtime.
