A replacement turbocharger for the 6.0L diesel engine in 2003-2007 Ford Super Duty trucks. It bolts on in place of the factory turbo with no cutting or welding, and comes with a new solenoid and install kit.

why this one — KC Turbos is one of the most established names for rebuilding and upgrading Power Stroke diesel turbos, and this is their entry-level upgrade for the 6.0L. KC's own listing says it supports 425 to 525-plus horsepower with other supporting parts - that is KC's claimed ceiling for a built-up truck, not a tested gain over the stock turbo, and no independent dyno test was found.

where the number comes from

KC Turbos' own product page (kcturbos.com), which states "425 to 525+ horsepower" as the supported range with other supporting mods. No independent dyno test found.

heads up

Turbo hardware changes boost and airflow and requires a supporting tune to run safely - can affect powertrain warranty and emissions compliance depending on state and supporting parts.
