A performance enhancement package designed for a specific generation of diesel engines, this assembly provides components intended to improve the engine’s forced induction system. It typically includes a replacement turbocharger unit, often larger or with enhanced features compared to the original equipment, along with necessary hardware such as mounting brackets, oil lines, and potentially revised intake or exhaust plumbing.
The motivation behind installing such a kit is generally to increase engine power output, improve throttle response, and enhance overall engine efficiency. By optimizing the airflow characteristics of the engine, these kits can deliver increased horsepower and torque, which can be beneficial for tasks such as towing, off-road driving, or simply achieving improved on-road performance. Historically, improvements in turbocharger technology have fueled the development of these upgrade packages, allowing for more effective and reliable performance gains.
