Cab/Chassis turbo

[WSutt]

2018 3500 am considering turbo replacement of the factory VGT.Just recently found out this has smaller turbo than pickup models.Can anyone recomend anything particular? I do still have the stock unit from my 05 5.9 I replaced that with a Garrett.

C&C motors also have different cams and fueling program 2013 to 2018. The powerband is smaller 1600 to 2400RPM. I recall reading where someone upgraded their C&C turbo, but can't remember where. Recommend contacting some of the aftermarket turbo builders like BD and ATS. I've Googled turbos for C&Cs before, but did not find much.

I had the EB on the turbo on my 2009 Ram 4500 fail, but had it replaced at dealer because I wanted full EB functionality.

Anyhoo, please post if you find something.

Cheers, Ron

You could contact Tater Built and see if he does a rework of your stock Charger. Any non-vgt is going to require programming so reworking your stocker will keep you from having to completely reprogramming (unless you planning that anyway)

It’s a different turbo, but not smaller. It has the same turbine and turbine housing, bigger than the 5.9 turbo. The compressor and compressor housing are the main difference but I can’t find anything showing it smaller. Likely just a minor difference for figment with the different emissions.

The 5.9 turbo has too small of an exhaust housing for the 5.9 to properly breathe so a 6.7 would hate it.

What are you trying to do with the truck tuning and power wise?

HE451. Will be plug and play with electronics, but it will take some plumbing.

Unless you’re wanting to lose the exhaust brake.
