Turbocharger Kit
Cummins®

A Turbocharger Kit is a set of components that include a turbocharger, exhaust manifold, intake piping, and other necessary hardware for boosting the performance of a truck's engine. The turbocharger uses exhaust gases to spin a turbine, which in turn drives an air compressor. This compressed air is then forced into the engine's combustion chamber, allowing it to burn more fuel and produce more power. The exhaust manifold collects the exhaust gases from each cylinder and directs them towards the turbocharger. The intake piping brings in fresh air from outside the engine compartment and delivers it to the compressor side of the turbocharger. By increasing airflow into the engine, a turbocharger kit can significantly improve horsepower and torque output while also improving efficiency by burning fuel more completely. Part Number 5602972 refers specifically to one particular kit produced by a manufacturer or supplier.
