Frequently Asked Questions

General

Are Black Bandit turbos truly drop-in replacements?

Yes. Every Black Bandit Turbocharger is 100% drop-in ready, designed to fit directly in place of your stock unit without the need for machining, fabrication, or tuning changes. Just bolt it on, torque it down, and spool up.

What makes a Black Bandit turbo different from a stock turbo?

Black Bandit turbos feature billet compressor wheels, black powder-coated housings, and upgraded internal components engineered for durability, efficiency, and consistent boost under load. They deliver lower EGTs, better throttle response, and longer life than factory replacements.

Will I notice a performance gain?

Absolutely. While designed as stock replacements, our turbos typically offer improved spool time, stronger mid-range power, and smoother overall performance. Lower EGTs mean your engine runs cooler, allowing you to push harder without compromising reliability.

Do I need custom tuning with a Black Bandit turbo?

No custom tuning is required for our standard drop-in replacement models. They’re designed to operate safely with factory calibration. However, pairing your turbo with a proper tune can further optimize power and drivability.

What trucks are Black Bandit turbos compatible with?

We offer direct-fit replacement turbos for Ford Powerstroke (1998–2024), GM Duramax, and Ram Cummins applications. Each model is precision-built for specific engine years—check the product listing for your exact fitment.
