Product Description
The Sinister Diesel Pitbull Series® Turbocharger for the 5.9L Cummins looks stock on the outside but delivers far more efficiency and reliability than the factory HE351. Designed as a direct drop-in replacement, this turbo fits the OEM location with no modifications required.
Featuring an upgraded 63mm Billet Blade Technology compressor wheel and redesigned slim-nose profile, the Pitbull Series turbo significantly improves turbine flow while reducing backpressure. The result: lower EGTs, stronger low-end torque, and substantially more power—without changing your tune.
For 2004.5–2007 Cummins applications, the Pitbull turbo also includes a high-performance actuator calibrated for 38 PSI versus the factory 24 PSI, plus a new air control valve for reliable boost control.
Why OEM Location Matters
This turbo was engineered to install just like stock, making it a hassle-free upgrade. Unlike larger frame conversions, the Pitbull Series requires no extra fabrication, lines, or adapters—saving time while delivering big performance gains.
