Mercedes W123 Turbo Elbow Seals Replacement
Introduction
The seals on the turbo elbow are designed to keep unfiltered air from being sucked directly in to your turbo.
The top seal is renowned for being difficult to install and even seasoned mechanics install it in such a way that reduces its effectiveness. Replace yours, and install it properly!
Also, the lower seal on the turbo is prone to premature again due to exposure to heat from the turbo. It will dry out and become brittle, sealing less effectively.
In either case you could be letting unfiltered air reach your turbo. Help keep your turbo alive a lot longer by replacing these seals. Learn a few tricks, too, to make it easier.
