Turbocharger Rebuilds & Upgrades in Nampa, ID
If your truck isn't pulling like it used to, the problem might not be the engine. It could be the turbo.
Turbochargers take on an enormous amount of stress over the life of a diesel engine, spinning at speeds most drivers would find hard to believe, and over time that stress takes a toll. At Ray's Diesel & Automotive Repair in Nampa, we provide full turbocharger rebuilding services that bring tired turbos back to factory performance, often at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
Signs Your Turbo Might Need a Rebuild
A turbo rarely fails without warning. If you've noticed sluggish acceleration, a high-pitched whining sound under load, excess smoke from the exhaust, or an oily residue around the turbo housing, your turbocharger is likely trying to tell you something. Catching these signs early is the difference between a straightforward rebuild and a much more expensive repair down the road.
Full Turbocharger Rebuild Services
Our technicians work on diesel platforms regularly, including Cummins, Duramax, and Powerstroke, and we bring that hands-on experience to every rebuild. We disassemble, inspect, clean, and rebuild your turbocharger using quality components, restoring the boost performance your engine was designed to deliver.
Every rebuild we perform comes with a two-year, 24,000-mile warranty. If something does go wrong with your turbocharger after the rebuild, bring it back and we'll make it right at no additional cost.

Turbocharger Upgrades: Stage 2 and Stage 3
Many trucks come with a turbocharger as part of the factory setup, but stock components are often built for a balance of performance, emissions compliance, and longevity rather than maximum output. If you're looking for more power and improved efficiency, our shop performs Stage 2 and Stage 3 turbocharger upgrades for drivers who want to get more out of their engine.
A Stage 2 upgrade typically improves boost response and overall power while staying within a reasonable range for daily driving. A Stage 3 upgrade pushes further, often paired with supporting modifications for drivers who are serious about performance, whether that's for towing, work truck demands, or simply wanting more capability under the hood. We'll talk through your goals and recommend the upgrade path that makes sense for how you actually use your truck.
