Drop In Turbo

2010-2018 Dodge Ram 2500 & 3500 6.7L Cummins Bolt-On & Drop-In Turbochargers

Maximize your airflow, sharpen low-end throttle response, and lower your exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) without the headaches of custom fabrication using premium 2010–2018 6.7L Cummins 4th Gen drop-in turbochargers from Full Force Diesel. For many 4th Generation Ram HD truck owners, upgrading the factory turbocharger is essential to support electronic custom tuning or heavy towing demands. However, converting to a completely custom-fabricated turbo system can require new exhaust manifolds, custom downpipes, modified oil lines, and altered intake plumbing. Engineered drop-in turbochargers eliminate this layout friction completely, delivering a direct bolt-on replacement that drops seamlessly into the factory location while offering massive internal flow advantages.

The Structural Advantages of True Drop-In Turbo Upgrades

A genuine drop-in turbocharger retains the exact exterior architecture and mounting points of your stock Holset unit, meaning it mates perfectly with your factory exhaust manifold flange, oil feed and drain circuits, intercooler piping, and downpipe alignment. While the outside looks identical to a factory pump, the internal components are heavily modified:

• Upgraded Compressor & Turbine Wheels: These units utilize advanced, lightweight billet or forged compressor wheels featuring aggressive blade geometries that pull in significantly more cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air. Paired with high-flow exhaust turbine wheels, they reduce backpressure and speed up spool-up times.

• Retaining Factory VGT Functionality: Our premium drop-in performance turbos retain the factory Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) sliding nozzle ring framework. This ensures you keep the quick, low-end street spooling and the absolute braking power of your integrated factory exhaust brake—making it the ideal choice for heavy daily towing rigs.

Lower Operating Temperatures and Horsepower Headroom

Upgrading to a high-capacity drop-in unit changes how your 6.7L engine processes fuel and heat, providing immediate safety margins when pulling heavy fifth-wheel trailers up steep mountain grades:

• Drastic Reductions in EGTs: By stuffing a larger, denser volume of cool compressed oxygen into the intake tract, these upgraded turbos optimize your air-to-fuel ratios. This massive influx of air ensures complete combustion of fuel, lowering your exhaust gas temperatures by up to 100 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit under load.

• Supporting Upgraded Fuel Profiles: If you have already installed a frame-mounted fuel-air separation lift pump or mild performance fuel injectors, a stock turbocharger will quickly choke out. A drop-in upgrade provides the necessary air delivery to cleanly burn that extra fuel, easily supporting 500 to 650+ horsepower while keeping your emissions systems operating smoothly.

At Full Force Diesel, we bring you the rugged, field-tested induction components your truck needs to work hard without the installation headaches.
