Shop around for a diesel turbo upgrade and you'll find "hybrid," "drop-in" and "upgrade" used as if they meant the same thing. They don't. A hybrid turbo, a drop-in turbo and a full fixed-geometry conversion are three different hardware paths,...

When a diesel turbo starts to fail, a turbo rebuild kit is usually the cheapest-looking part on the screen. It is also the easiest to misunderstand. A kit is a set of wear parts, not a finished repair, and whether...
A turbo upgrade adds airflow. It does not add fuel, tuning, cooling or transmission capacity, and on a 2017–2019 6.7 Powerstroke the gains come from all of them working together. This is what typically needs attention alongside a turbo upgrade,...
"9 blade" and "10 blade" come up constantly in 6.7 Powerstroke turbo discussions. The number refers to the blades on the turbine wheel, the exhaust side of the turbo. It does change how a turbo behaves, but far less than...
Search for a 6.7 Powerstroke turbo upgrade and you will find two very different kinds of product: drop-in variable geometry (VGT) turbos that replace the factory unit in place, and non-VGT kits that swap in a fixed geometry turbo, often...
The GT37 that Ford fitted from 2015 fixed most of the turbo failures that gave the early 6.7 Powerstroke a bad name. It is still a variable geometry turbo sitting in a hot engine valley, though, and the vanes that...
Most 2017–2019 6.7 Powerstroke owners hit the factory turbo's limit the same way: a tune goes on, the truck feels great empty, and then the EGT gauge climbs on the first long grade with a trailer. Here is where the...
Ford has put four different turbochargers on the 6.7L Power Stroke since 2011, and parts for one generation rarely fit another. If you are replacing or upgrading the turbo on a 2017, 2018 or 2019 Super Duty, this is what...

If you are searching for an S480 turbo, you are already thinking about serious horsepower — the kind that demands competition-grade fuel systems, structural engine hardware, and a built transmission before you ever hit the throttle. The S480 is an...

The True North Turbos TNT5R line is Black Sheep Industries' big-frame answer to the demands of class-limited drag racing in North America. Built in Canada with in-house designed compressor and turbine wheels, every TNT5R turbo features a T6 turbine inlet,...

The S476 turbo is a BorgWarner S400-frame turbocharger built around a 76 mm compressor inducer — that single measurement is what distinguishes it from every other S400-series variant and gives it its name. While the broader 75–76 mm compressor class...

If you're building a high-horsepower 5.9L Cummins and working through the S400 family, the S472 turbo is the size that keeps coming up — and for good reason. It sits in the sweet spot of the lineup: more top-end flow...
-
If you're building a 5.9L Cummins and you've outgrown what an S300-series turbo can do, the S467 turbo is almost certainly the first name you've come across. There's a reason for that. This guide covers what the S467 actually is,...

The S464 sits at the entry point of the BorgWarner S400 family — the smallest common compressor in a large-frame platform that runs from street-driven diesel trucks all the way through serious high-horsepower builds pushing close to 1,000 crank horsepower....
-
When you're building around a BorgWarner S400-frame turbo, the question of ball bearing vs journal bearing turbo is more than an academic curiosity — it determines your oil feed line size, your restrictor orifice, and how you route the drain....
-
The S475 turbo sits at the centre of the BorgWarner S400 frame family — large enough to support serious power targets, yet balanced enough for trucks that see daily highway miles between track events. Whether you're building a 6.7 L...
G30/G35-class turbo pricing in 2026: what Garrett G-Series units actually sell for, what budget clones cost, and where the Canadian-built TNTSF series lands — with the value math spelled out.
Which TNTSF ball bearing turbo fits your build? A platform-by-platform sizing guide for the 54mm, 58mm, 62mm, and 68mm drop-in G30/G35 alternatives — spanning 720–1,110 HP, from street WRX to twin-turbo V8.
Looking for a Garrett G30 or G35 alternative? Here's how the Canadian-built TNTSF ball bearing series lines up against the G30-660, G30-770, G35-900, and G35-1050 — spec for spec, dollar for dollar.
Getting the most from an upgraded LLY/LBZ/LMM turbo means addressing the rest of the fuel and airflow system too. Quick answer: Custom tuning, an adequate lift pump, a free-flowing intake and exhaust, and EGT monitoring are the supporting mods that...
