What is a VGT turbo and why would I want one on my 5.9L?

A Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) can adjust its internal vanes to change airflow. This allows it to spool up faster at lower RPMs and optimize airflow at higher RPMs, improving performance and potentially fuel economy compared to a fixed geometry turbo. This kit lets you install a 6.7L VGT turbo on your 5.9L engine.

Does this kit include the 6.7L VGT turbocharger itself?

No, this kit is the BD Diesel Howler VGT Controller Kit. It provides the necessary control module and wiring harness to manage a 6.7L VGT turbocharger, which you would need to source separately.

What is included in the kit besides the controller?

The kit comes with the VGT control module, a complete wiring harness designed for plug-and-play installation, and a toggle switch for the integrated exhaust brake control.

Product Details

BD Diesel has been making performance parts for trucks for decades, and this Howler VGT Controller Kit for your 2003-2007 Dodge Ram 5.9L is one of their staples. This kit is designed to let you install a 6.7L Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) onto your 5.9L common rail engine. A VGT turbo can spool up faster and adjust its airflow on the fly, which can make a noticeable difference in how your truck drives, especially when towing or under load.

What this controller does is manage the VGT turbo's vanes. It monitors sensor inputs and adjusts the vanes based on throttle position and other factors to help the turbo build boost quickly and efficiently. This means better performance when you need it, and it can even help with cruising fuel economy by optimizing airflow. BD Diesel also built in some smart safety features; if the controller sees any bad sensor data, it defaults the turbo vanes to the open position to prevent damage. Plus, it includes integrated exhaust brake control with a toggle switch, giving you an extra layer of stopping power for when you're heading downhill with a load.

Installation is designed to be straightforward with this kit. It's a plug-and-play setup, meaning it uses factory connectors and doesn't require tapping into the OBD port. You'll get everything you need, including the wiring harness, to get the controller hooked up. This kit is a solid option if you're looking to upgrade your 5.9L Cummins with the benefits of a 6.7L VGT turbocharger.
