Why does everyone love that cool whistling sound? Because it means the turbocharger is spooling up and things are about to get interesting!
Like a centrifugal or Roots-style supercharger, a turbocharger is a type of forced induction system, packing more air into the engine to create a more powerful combustion. While superchargers are mechanically connected to the crankshaft, a turbocharger’s turbine is spun by the flow of exhaust gases exiting the engine. A supercharger might make more power, and a turbocharger doesn’t really start making more power until your rpm is high enough, but a turbo is more efficient and makes less...

To hook up that new turbo, you’re going to need things like downpipes, wastegates, blow-off valves, and intercoolers. If you need more advice before you start your turbo build, contact our sales and tech experts.
Whether you’re shopping for a replacement for the stock turbo for your car, bigger boost for your diesel, or you’re building a high-performance racing engine, Summit Racing Equipment has the right part at the right price. We only carry turbochargers we’d use on our own vehicles—no third party resellers here, just the genuine article from brands you can trust, including Turbonetics, BorgWarner, BD Diesel, VS Racing, ACDelco, Precision Turbo, Bully Dog, Fleece Performance, and more. Consider our Summit Racing brand turbos as well!

Fleece Performance offers Cheetah FMW VNT turbochargers for a variety of diesel trucks to enhance your driving experience. These drop-in replacements come with a Fleece-engineered 63mm FMW compressor wheel and high-flow Cheetah turbine wheel. You'll enjoy the spool-up and throttle response of a small turbo and still get the big top-end power you're looking for. Rated at up to 650 rear wheel horsepower (depending on model), this is the ultimate combination for dual-purpose applications. If you're towing during the week and sled pulling on the weekend, the 63mm FMW VNT Cheetah is just the ticket. Order the turbo model recommended for your vehicle. Additional details: * Stock appearing: Uses the stock housings with updated internals. This allows you to keep all factory systems intact, yet enables you to safely run 40 psi of boost. No aftermarket components or modifications needed for installation. * Proven Technology: Built with genuine Garrett Turbocharger parts. They feature upgraded shaft bearings and 360 degree thrust bearings. * Powerful Yet Responsive: Turbochargers spool like stock, thanks to the variable nozzle technology (VNT) which allows the turbo to act smaller upon spool-up and then open up to flow more exhaust on the top end. * Exclusive FMW wheel technology: – Forged milled wheels – Faster spool-up – Increased throttle response – Broader torque curve

PowerMax Performance Diesel turbochargers supply your light-duty diesel with the best components for optimizing power, response, and efficiency. PowerMax turbochargers are quick-spooling, high-flowing turbochargers with the right blend of design features that will upgrade power and torque, while lowering EGTs for select diesel trucks. Whether you own a Ford, Dodge, or GM diesel pickup truck, PowerMax has a ball-bearing turbocharger for you! Turbocharger and installation instructions, as well as other components needed for your specific application are included. Features and benefits of PowerMax turbochargers: * Large bore inducer--allows greater airflow for high performance diesels with increased fuel flow * Advanced design compressor wheels--extremely high-efficiency, backward-curved impellers, which allow for a broad airflow range to match the needs of diesels * Exclusive true angular-contact ball bearings--meaning the turbo spools up to 15 percent faster, is capable of high-thrust loads seen in high performance/high-boost applications, and increases overall turbo efficiency by reducing power consumption by nearly 50 percent over traditional journal bearing designs * Performance enhancing oil restrictor--optimizes oil flow for proper lubrication and cooling, while limiting turbo rotational drag which robs power and efficiency * Divided turbine housing--divider wall within the turbine volute optimizes pulse gas energy, which gives greater response and turbine efficiency during low-end and mid-range operation * Ultra-high pressure/high-efficiency turbine--extracts a maximum of energy from the engine's exhaust. Using GMR235 super alloy, the turbine wheel design is optimized for high exhaust flow, and low weight to reduce moment of inertia assisting in crisp response to changes in engine speed * Turbine outlet connection--designed to fit as a direct drop-in to enhance the ease of upgrading stock turbos * Turbine heat shielding--PowerMax utilizes a heat shield to create "dead air space" insulation barrier to keep high exhaust heat energy in the turbine to be converted to mechanical energy, and away from bearings and oil * Design optimized turbine housing--advanced 3D modeling and computational fluid dynamics are used to optimize the volute shape, and the housing is also equipped with an adjustable wastegate allowing adjustment for optimum boost levels * Oil control and seal--a double-row flinger which drives drain oil away from the gas seal rings virtually eliminates compressor oil sealing problems
