Turbocharger Kit
Cummins®

A Turbocharger Kit, also known as a turbo kit, is a set of components that includes a turbocharger, exhaust manifold, wastegate, intercooler and other necessary components to increase the power output of an internal combustion engine. The turbocharger compresses the air entering the engine which increases its density and allows more fuel to be burned resulting in increased horsepower and torque. The exhaust gases from the engine are routed through the exhaust manifold which drives the turbine in the turbocharger causing it to spin at high speeds. The wastegate regulates boost pressure by diverting excess exhaust gas away from the turbine. The intercooler cools down compressed air before it enters the engine increasing its efficiency. A Turbocharger Kit is typically used by performance enthusiasts looking to increase their vehicle's power output beyond what is achievable with naturally aspirated engines. Part Number 3800851 refers to a specific kit designed for use on certain makes and models of trucks.
