Perhaps more importantly for power users, it’s optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of competing traffic.AI Noise-Canceling MicrophoneAI Noise-Canceling Microphone software is exclusively featured on ASUS motherboards and supports 3.5mm, USB, or Bluetooth headsets. This utility uses a deep-learning database to preserve the sound of your voice while eliminating distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks, and other forms of environmental noise. And it only places a slight load on the CPU, ensuring minimal impact on gaming performance.Audio CoverEffective shielding against electromagnetic interference preservers the integrity of audio signals for uncompromised sound quality.Audio-Line ShieldingThe shielding blocks electromagnetic interference by separating digital and analog audio.Signal-to-Noise RatioThe unique audio codec designed in close collaboration with the Realtek for the TUF Gaming B550 series motherboards features a 108dB signal-to-noise ratio or SNR for the stereo line out and a 103dB SNR for the line in, providing accurate audio.DTS CustomHone your battle skills with DTS Custom onboard audio. Utilizing advanced emulation techniques to create positional cues via stereo headphones, DTS Custom offers Aerial, Soundscape, and Tactical Presets for different genres, so you’ll have a distinct advantage in every game.ASUS Aura LightingA well-tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips connected to the onboard RGB headers. And it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.Addressable Gen 2 RGB HeaderThe addressable Gen 2 RGB header is now capable of detecting the number of LEDs on second-gen addressable RGB devices, allowing the software to automatically tailor lighting effects to specific compatible devices. This header also offers backward-compatibility with existing Aura RGB gear.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Warranty policy

All products are backed by unlimited mileage and one (1) Year, Limited Warranty. Please read terms and conditions for full description.

Before fitting the new part, you MUST find the reason why turbocharger FAILED and CORRECT it. Fitting a new turbo will only result the same failure. Less than 10% of turbocharger failures, are due to the turbo itself, in most cases failures are caused by outside influence. Most common causes of consequential failure (NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY) are listed below. All new Kott Turbo Works products are backed by a one (1) Year Limited Warranty. The one (1) Year Limited Warranty covers all manufacturer defects. Warranty does not cover labor recovery, accommodation, or any other costs. Turbochargers must be returned for a detailed warranty inspection. Any modification to the product voids the one (1) Year Limited Warranty. The one (1) Year Limited Warranty does not cover :

  • Failure to provide installation documents from repair facility. (Self/parking lot installs)
  • Failure to perform and document scheduled maintenance on time.
  • Seaping/leaking oil out of compression outlet, caused by excesive BLOW BY or clogged crankcase FILTER.
  • Failures due to Improper installation or maintenance, restricted oil feed pipe, damaged oil pump, low oil level, metal particles or carbon present, faulty DPF filters and/or EGR valves, contaminated lubricant, oil starvation.
  • Using liquid gasket or sealing compounds
  • White deposit present on exhaust parts due to excessive engine oil burn.
  • Over speeding, defective intercooler and or compression piping, stuck VGT, Remap
  • Foreign object and physical damage, defective or dirty air filter and supply pipes.

Due to the intricacies involved in warranty process and the industry standard protocol regarding the inspection of parts and turnaround time, we will not offer free replacements prior to full inspection and analysis. To minimize potential downtime for our customers, we strongly recommend the purchase of replacement parts as a proactive measure. We kindly request your understanding in this matter.

Installation tips

Most common misdiagnosis.

Oil leaks can be caused by a variety of factors, the main factor being incorrect pressure within the compressor and turbine housings, which is usually caused by:

  • Blockages to the air intake filter and/or hoses.
  • Excessive crank case pressure (blow-by from worn piston rings/bores)
  • Blockages in the exhaust system
  • Repeated hot engine shutdowns leading to carbon deposits (coke) in the centre housing
  • Dirty crankcase filter
  • Use of silicon sealant / incorrect gasket, twisted, bent or trapped oil return pipe

Most common turbocharger failure causes on semi trucks:

  • Foreign object damage – Broken off engine components, e.g. valves (D13), fragments of damaged pistons or injector tips, EGR block off plates.
  • Oil contamination – High carbon build up present in the engine can quickly contaminate new oil, contamination of new oil while servicing.
  • Degrading oil – excessive temperatures or extended service intervals.
  • Internal engine leaks – fuel or coolant mixing with oil supply.
  • Turbocharger overspeeding – Engine modifications including ‘chipping’ or ‘over-fuelling, bad program installed if EGR/DPF delete was performed, worn injectors. Tear in the air hose or the hose becoming completely detached. Restrictions in the air intake filter or pipe work. Air leaks between compressor and engine.
  • Lack of lubrication – 
    1. Engine left idle for long periods, especially during cold weather
    2. Oil feed pipes containing bends or kinks
    3. Lack of maintenance, oil change intervals should be shortened as engine gets old.
    4. Insufficient oil in the sump
    5. Incorrect oil inlet gasket used leading to restriction in oil supply
    6. Build-up (coking) / carbon deposits in the oil feed pipe
    7. Applying silicone to the oil inlet gasket causing blockages
    8. Sludge or coke build up in bearing housing from hot shutdowns
    9. Failure to prime the turbo with oil before initial run
