ATS 2029302218 Aurora 3000 Turbo System 98.5-02 5.9L Cummins

Introducing a quick spooling turbo with unsurpassed reliability that will match up perfectly to even a stock powered truck for a significantly broader power band and decreased temperatures. Better yet, the 4" downpipe is included! Matching up a turbo to existing or future modifications to a truck can be tricky. Fueling, transmission, tire size, gear ratio, altitude, use of truck, and other variables all must come into the equation to determine what turbo will work best for you. And for those that haven't committed to over 500 rear wheel horsepower, finding a performance turbo can be very tricky because the majority of turbo manufacturers all start at a 62mm compressor, which is simply too large of a turbo for trucks producing under 500 RWHP, especially when towing. Fortunately, ATS has the perfect turbo, even for stock powered trucks, with their Aurora 3000 turbo system for the 98.5-02 24 valve 5.9L Cummins! The Aurora 3000 is a quick spooling turbo charger that is great for all around performance on the VP44 powered 5.9L Cummins. The 58mm inducer on the turbo is a very nimble and highly responsive unit. Safe for stock engines and stock components, towing and daily driving become much easier due to the turbo doing more work, instead of relying on the engine with a restrictive factory turbo. The increased air volume will utilize all fuel injected into the cylinder, creating a more complete and efficient combustion event. This will result in lower EGTs (Exhaust Gas Temperatures), better throttle response, and a more efficient/useable torque curve. RECOMMENDED ADD-ON PARTS - With the installation of an upgraded turbo, such as this Aurora 3000, we highly recommend also upgrading the exhaust manifold. Besides the simple fact that there is no better time to do so because the turbo will be off, there are many performance advantages, as well. The higher flowing exhaust manifold will assist the turbo to light sooner and provide more boost/air flow throughout the entire RPM range due to a reduction in the factory bottlenecked manifold. And quite simply, the line of ATS turbos are originally designed and tested with one of their Pulse Flow manifolds installed, so you will receive the maximum gain by installing as a package. Also, the multi-piece design provides an area for expansion/contraction to occur, which will nearly eliminate the possibility of a cracked manifold, which leads to a serious performance disadvantage. Finally, this manifold is built with a pre-threaded port making the installation of a pyrometer thermocouple a breeze.
