Turbo Cartridges
A turbo cartridge, also called a CHRA (center housing rotating assembly), is the internal core of a turbocharger containing the turbine shaft, journal bearings or ball bearings, seal rings, and thrust bearing. Replacing the CHRA is a cost-effective turbocharger rebuild method that restores performance and oil sealing without replacing the turbine housing and compressor cover. Popular Turbo Cartridge Applications CHRA cartridges are available for a wide range of OEM and aftermarket turbocharger frames including Garrett, Borg Warner, IHI, Mitsubishi, and Holset turbos used in popular diesel and gasoline turbocharged applications. Ball bearing CHRA upgrades are available for many journal bearing turbo frames, offering faster spool response, reduced oil consumption, and longer service life than the original journal bearing assembly. When should a turbo cartridge be replaced? Turbo cartridge replacement is appropriate when inspection reveals shaft play exceeding manufacturer tolerances, ...
