BD Diesel Howler Performance VGT Turbo Kit – Part # 1047140

The BD Diesel Howler Performance VGT Turbo Kit (Part Number 1047140) is engineered for 2006-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 5.9L Cummins engine. This advanced turbocharger system combines a variable geometry turbo (VGT) with an integrated exhaust brake, delivering superior drivability and power management. The kit includes a high-performance Holset VGT actuator, a thick-walled exhaust manifold, plug-and-play wiring harness, and all necessary hardware for a straightforward installation. Designed to support up to 675 horsepower with additional modifications, the Howler kit enhances throttle response, fuel economy, and towing capacity while providing a factory-like fit and finish.
The VGT mechanism features a control module that monitors sensor inputs and adjusts vanes for optimal spool-up and boost, ensuring efficient power delivery across a broad RPM range. Its built-in exhaust brake generates up to 65 psi of engine braking force, rivaling butterfly valve types, which improves downhill control and reduces brake wear. The turbine wheel’s 15% reduction in moment of inertia allows for quicker response times, while the reduction in blade thickness increases turbine flow and efficiency. The ballistic billet 64.5mm 7+7 blade compressor wheel and the low MOI QST 70mm turbine wheel work in concert to provide rapid spool-up and sustained boost, even under demanding conditions.
This kit is suitable for trucks in various power levels; for 575-675hp applications, it pairs well with the Screamer turbo, 90-120hp injectors, and a R900 CP3 pump. For towing and moderate power, the stock HE351VE turbo with stock or 60hp injectors is recommended. The system features a command module that adjusts boost based on throttle position to maximize fuel economy and performance, and it includes safety defaults that open the vanes if sensor data is erroneous. Designed for ease of installation without the need for an OBD port connection, the Howler kit provides a clean, factory-looking appearance while supporting high-performance modifications.
Overall, the BD Diesel Howler VGT Turbo Kit offers a robust, reliable upgrade for serious diesel enthusiasts seeking increased power, towing capability, and drivability from their Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 trucks.
