The BD Diesel 1045824 Retrofit Turbo Kit provides a reliable upgrade for the early model Ford 6.7L Powerstroke engines, replacing the problematic GT32 Single Sequential Turbocharger (SST). This complete solution features a modern turbo design capable of delivering up to 66 pounds per minute of airflow, ensuring improved performance without sacrificing low-end response. Everything necessary for installation is included, making it a straightforward drop-in replacement that eliminates the need for additional parts. This retrofit is ideal for fleet operators and enthusiasts seeking enhanced power and durability in their diesel trucks.
This turbo assembly incorporates a BD custom cast turbine housing, a mixed flow turbine wheel with a 62 mm exducer, and a 61 mm single-sided compressor wheel, all balanced to VSR high-speed standards. The design specifically addresses common SST failures, offering a durable, high-performance alternative that can support up to 86 lb/min airflow. To maximize benefits and prevent fault codes, a compatible tuner such as the Edge Evolution CS2 or CTS3 is recommended. For those aiming to exceed 500 horsepower, BD recommends the Stage 2 Retrofit kit (part number 1045825) for further upgrades.
Installation of this turbo requires adherence to proper procedures. Based on our shop experience specializing in heavy-duty drivetrains since 1985, we advise following the manufacturer’s break-in procedures, including the first 500 miles of moderate driving, replacing pilot and throwout bearings, and resurfacing or replacing the flywheel during installation. Thorough cleaning of the pressure plate face with a premium lint-free brake cleaner is essential for optimal engagement and long-term reliability. This turbo is VSR high-speed balanced, ensuring smooth operation and longevity in demanding towing and fleet applications.
