Preventing Drip‑Feed Leaks in Turbocharger and Compressor Housings

Turbochargers run hot, spin fast, and generate a lot of pressure. That sets the stage for expelled oil or air if seals aren’t perfect. A standard washer doesn’t cut it. Enter the Sealing Washers, which I install at every mounting bolt on compressor housings to tackle high pressure and heat cycles. The result? Zero pressurised leaks in over five performance audits.

But not all bonded washers can take 200 °C heat. That’s why I specify washers made of stainless-steel carriers and Viton seals. Plus, coupling them with torque-log procedures ensures each washer holds pressure consistently. The combination of seal and procedure turns a small component into a production-lane hero.
