Product Overview
The Sinister Diesel PITBULL SERIES® 1 Turbocharger is a performance-enhanced, drop-in replacement designed specifically for the 7.3L Powerstroke platform. Built using an upgraded billet 66mm compressor wheel and a modified stock-style turbocharger, this unit delivers improved airflow, faster spool-up, and better overall efficiency compared to the factory turbo.
Thanks to its Slim-Nose billet compressor wheel and .84 A/R turbine housing, the PITBULL SERIES® 1 provides cooler EGTs, stronger midrange power, and improved throttle response—making it a great upgrade for trucks equipped with stock or mildly upgraded injectors. Whether towing, daily driving, or running light performance mods, this turbo offers a clean, efficient boost curve without the lag found in larger aftermarket units.
Each turbo is precision-balanced, powder-coated in Sinister Blue, and tested to ensure long-term performance and reliability. The PITBULL SERIES® 1 is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their 7.3L’s capability while maintaining excellent drivability and dependable power.
