Diesel Turbo Systems | S300, S400, Swap Kits & Compound Turbos

From bolt-on turbo replacements to compound kits and VGT upgrades, our Turbo Systems category covers every power goal for Cummins, Ford, and Chevy diesels.  High-flow turbo systems built for strong power, clean boost response, and reliable towing performance.

 

Why Upgrade Your Diesel Turbocharger?

  • ✅ More Power & Torque – Replace your restrictive factory turbo with a high-flow S300 or S400 unit.
  • ✅ Lower EGTs – Better air-fuel ratios help reduce heat under load.
  • ✅ Faster Spool-Up – Reduce turbo lag with improved boost response.
  • ✅ Better Towing Performance – Maintain speed and control even on steep inclines.
  • ✅ Built to Last – Stronger internals and materials than OEM.
  • Knowing when to replace your single turbocharger is vital for keeping your Cummins, Powerstroke, or Class 8 & 7 truck running smoothly.

  • Here's a simple guide to help you spot the signs:

    • Less Power: If your truck feels weak when accelerating, your turbocharger might be failing.
    • More Smoke: Watch out for thick, dark smoke from your exhaust. It could mean your turbocharger is damaged.
    • Strange Noises: Listen for odd sounds from your engine or turbo area, like whining or grinding, especially during acceleration.
    • Oil Use: Keep an eye on your oil levels. If they're dropping fast without any leaks, your turbocharger could be burning oil.
    • Check Engine Light: Don't ignore warning lights on your dashboard, especially the check engine light. It could signal turbocharger trouble.

    Stay alert to these signs to catch turbocharger problems early and avoid bigger issues down the road. For top-quality replacements and expert advice, turn to Diesel Power Source.

Diesel Turbo Systems - FAQs

A diesel turbo system uses exhaust gases to spin a turbine that forces more air into the engine, increasing power, torque, and efficiency compared to a naturally aspirated diesel engine.

Common diesel turbo systems include single turbo setups, compound turbo systems, VGT (Variable Geometry Turbo) systems, swap kits, conversion kits and add-a-turbo kits. Each is designed for different power goals and driving applications.

Yes. Diesel turbo systems are designed to match specific engines, model years, and emissions setups. Fitment depends on factors like engine displacement, exhaust configuration, and whether the truck is emissions-equipped or deleted.

Yes. Properly sized diesel turbo systems can improve low-RPM torque, reduce exhaust gas temperatures, and provide more consistent power under load, making them ideal for towing applications.

High-quality diesel turbo systems built with proper materials, balanced rotating assemblies, and correct sizing can be extremely reliable when installed and tuned correctly.

Diesel Power Source turbo systems are engineered specifically for diesel platforms, focusing on proper airflow, durability, and real-world performance rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
