Part: Turbocharger

In the video, the turbo is disassembled into all its components, cleaned thoroughly, lubricated with a special bearing oil and other uses, and reassembled in every part.
The guide advises to be very careful if you need to clamp it, as tightening it can easily cause damage.
Lubrication covered all its components including the bearings; in the images, we can see the final result tested with an air gun, the turbo spins normally, without issues.
