A Turbocharger is an air pump. The ultimate design is for the turbo to reach its peak boost pressure quickly and not create a lot of exhaust backpressure to drive the turbine wheel.
BD has a number of less restrictive and quicker responding exhaust housings.
1989-1993 Cummins 5.9 engines have a variety of large turbine housings that all result in a large turbo lag before boost is developed
All the above years will benefit by changing to a 16 sq cm housing to a non-waste gated turbine housing part #1045910 on stock or engines that have had high flow injectors installed
1994-1999 stock engines have the 12 sq cm w/g hsg that can be quite restrictive when the power is increased above 300 flywheel HP and results in high exhaust temperature. Changing to the 14 sq cm w/g turbine hsg # 1045920 or the 16-non/w/g hsg #1045910 will reduce temperature and improve engine power.
2001 automatic transmission equipped engines have a 9 or 10 sq cm hsg that is too restrictive for a high power increase (beyond the 300 hp) and should have our new HX35 Super Turbo installed.
94-01 Race engines developing over 380 plus Fly Wheel hp need BD’s Super turbo that incorporates a larger intake/inducers and larger 4" exhaust/exducer outlet. This larger outlet requires a new 4” down pipe. If you have a turbo-mounted brake you will have to exchange it for a remote mount application.
The Super HX40 turbo results in less turbo drive pressure, lower exhaust temperatures and quicker turbo response. Please call and discuss your Bomb’d race application. “These turbo’s are for race application and Holset doesn’t warrant a race application.”
When changing a turbine housing it is a good opportunity to change out the engines exhaust manifold to the new high flow expansion pulse manifold.
