MX150 Turbo

[Robhkent]

Can seals etc.. be put in the Holstet turbo in an MX150.  I noticed mine smoking quite a  bit this morning, looked around the engine and it is dumping a bit of oil.  Looks like it is coming out of the exhaust hose, as well as a little bit out of the rubber hose going to the air filter.  It does not look like a terrible job to get off, if the exhaust bolts come out.

if housings come off easy u can get the center cartridge then put youre old housings on. most of the time just easier to take to a shop that does pumps and turbos and have it rebuilt. cant remember what engine is in a 150 if its a iveco they use a recycle pump and filter for blowby that if not taken care of will pump oil into the air charge system. have had 2 mcCormicks that customers had engines run away from them and castrophic failure to engine

Are you sure it is a turbocharger problem and not just wet stacking?  Sometimes diesel slobber can look like a turbo problem.  Good luck!

MX150 is a CDC, 5.9 Cummins equivalent.

Never say never but a 5.9 with a Bosch pump won’t wet stack very quick.  I’ve never seen it happen.

Pretty sure it is oil, no history of wet stacking with this tractor.
