When stuffing a lot more air and fuel into an engine, you have to get it out, and that's where Western Diesel's TurboFlow stainless exhaust comes in. The TurboFlow is a full 4-in. system from the turbo down pipe on back, and a 5-in. polished exhaust tip for added looks. It installs in the factory routing using the OE hangers.
To keep an eye on engine and transmission vitals, Western Diesel also offers an A-Pillar-mount TurboGauge package. The three new gauges include a turbo-boost gauge, pre-turbo exhaust-gas temperature pyrometer, and a transmission temperature gauge for towing. The A-Pillar-mounting location puts these important gauges right in line-of-sight for easy monitoring.
Open wide and say "RamAir." Western Diesel's TurboRamAir provides a huge opening for intake air in front of the grille. The power-steering cooler is relocated with the supplied brackets to make room for the scoop.
Turning up the wick on a turbodiesel may be new to those raised on gasoline as the performance fuel of choice. But the performance modifications available to the PowerStroke, Cummins, and GM turbodiesels are satisfying, if not downright fun to drive. After 3000-plus miles on our Western Diesel-equipped SuperDuty we have only one caveat: Use with caution, all that torque is addictive.
