What is a VGT turbocharger and why would I want one?

VGT stands for Variable Geometry Turbocharger. Unlike traditional turbos with fixed vanes, a VGT can adjust the angle of its vanes to optimize airflow. This allows for quicker spool-up at lower RPMs and better performance at higher RPMs, leading to improved throttle response and potentially better fuel economy.

Does this kit include the 6.7L turbocharger itself?

No, this kit is an installation kit. It provides the controller, manifold, hardware, and wiring harness needed to adapt a 6.7L VGT turbocharger to your 5.9L Cummins engine. You will need to source the 6.7L turbocharger separately.

What is the exhaust brake control feature?

The integrated exhaust brake control uses the VGT turbocharger's vanes to create backpressure, acting as a brake. This helps slow the vehicle down without using the service brakes as much, which is particularly useful for towing or descending steep grades. It comes with a toggle switch for easy activation.

Doing a turbo upgrade on your 2003-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 with the 5.9L Cummins engine?

You also get a thick-walled exhaust manifold, which is a solid piece that can handle the demands of a VGT turbo. All the necessary hardware and a wiring harness are included, making the installation as straightforward as possible without needing to tap into the OBD port.
