Features & Advantages

  • Aluminum Alloy Construction: Engineered for heavy-load turbo operation, providing superior heat dissipation and resistance to cracking under boost pressure.
  • Reinforced Flanges: Precision-machined with 0.01mm tolerance for perfect turbo/intercooler fit, reducing leaks and intake restriction.
  • High-Temp Seals: Silicone gaskets withstand 250°C+ for leak-proof performance in EGR-equipped engines.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for construction, mining, and long-haul trucking, ensuring a reliable boost in Tier 4 ISX15/QSX15 fleets.

Common Faults & Replacement Signals

  • Boost Leaks: Cracked or loose connections cause whistling noises or power loss—replace if pressure drop >5 psi.
  • Intake Restriction: Corroded or damaged tubes lead to high EGT or turbo lag; check for black smoke or reduced MPG.
  • Seal Failure: Degraded gaskets result in oil/coolant contamination; monitor for white smoke or low boost warnings.
  • Flange Warping: High-heat cycles without timely replacement cause misalignment; inspect during 100,000-mile service.

Installation Notes

  1. Preparation: Relieve boost pressure and remove old tube; inspect turbo/intercooler flanges for damage.
  2. Alignment: Apply high-temperature sealant to flanges, install with new gaskets, and torque bolts to 25 Nm in a cross pattern (consult the manual).
  3. Sealing: Ensure silicone seals seat fully; use OEM clamps for a secure fit.
  4. Testing: Run the engine, check for leaks using a soap solution, and monitor boost pressure for 10 minutes.
  5. Pro Tip: Use anti-seize on bolts and a calibrated torque wrench to avoid warping; replace clamps if corroded.

Packaging & Shipping

  • Packaging: Sealed in an anti-corrosion bag with protective foam insert, boxed for safe transit.
  • Delivery: Worldwide free shipping on orders over $50; 3-7 days to most locations from the China warehouse.
