Fleece Performance FPE-HX35-63-FMW HX35 63mm FMW Cheetah Turbocharger 1994–2002 5.9L Cummins (12V & 24V) • Direct Drop-In Upgrade

Unlock serious performance from your 1994–2002 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L Cummins without the hassle of custom fabrication or expensive adapter kits. The Fleece Performance Cheetah HX35 63mm FMW turbo is a true bolt-on upgrade that delivers stock-like drivability with dramatically more power and efficiency.

Why the Cheetah Stands Out

Fleece Performance engineered the Cheetah series to be the benchmark for power, quality, and reliability. This isn’t a remanufactured unit — it’s brand new and ready to install. The exclusive 63mm FMW (Forged Milled Wheel) compressor wheel paired with a high-flow Inconel turbine wheel gives you smooth, quick spool-up, excellent throttle response, big top-end power, and that signature Cheetah whistle.

The internal wastegate is preset to 40 PSI from the factory, and the turbo maintains all OEM functions including exhaust brake and warm-up mode. You get lower EGTs, better overall efficiency, and the ability to support serious horsepower while keeping daily drivability intact.

Key Features & Benefits

• 100% drop-in replacement — No adapter kits or major modifications required. Bolts to the factory exhaust manifold flange and uses the stock downpipe.
• Fleece exclusive 63mm FMW billet compressor wheel — Improves airflow and efficiency across the power band.
• High-flow Inconel turbine wheel — Better exhaust flow and durability under high heat/load.
• Factory preset wastegate (40 PSI) — Optimized performance right out of the box.
• Supports up to 650 RWHP — With supporting modifications (fueling upgrades recommended for best results).
• Stock-like spooling & throttle response — No laggy “big turbo” feel.
• Lower EGTs — Safer and more efficient operation, especially when towing or working hard.
• Retains factory exhaust brake & warm-up mode.
• New, not remanufactured — No core charge.
• Classic Cheetah sound — Noticeable whistle on acceleration and at idle.
• 2.5" “Work Stock” legal in many competition classes.

Recommended Use & Supporting Mods

For optimal performance and reliability:

• 1998.5–2002 24V models benefit greatly from higher-output injectors and a lift pump.
• A custom tune is recommended to fully realize power gains and properly control the turbo.
• Pairs perfectly with upgraded fueling, intercooler, and exhaust for builds targeting 500–650+ RWHP.

Perfect for: Daily driving, heavy towing, street performance, sled pulling, or work stock competition.
