Description

The KC Budget Turbo Series was developed to provide an affordable performance upgrade while keeping quality in mind. Inspired by the original KC Stage 1 Turbo, this budget-friendly option offers enhanced performance without the high price tag.

Key Features:

  • Milled Stock Garrett Cover to accommodate a larger compressor wheel for increased airflow.
  • Upgraded 360-Degree Thrust Bearing for improved durability and longevity.
  • Backed by KC Turbos' 1-Year Unlimited Mile Warranty for peace of mind.

Budget vs. Jetfire Series:

While the KC Budget Turbo is a great cost-effective option, the KC 6.0 Jetfire Turbos will outperform them in every way. The Jetfire Series spools faster, produces more power, and includes additional upgraded components for superior performance.

This budget-friendly turbo was created in response to customer demand for a more economical option without sacrificing reliability. If you're looking for the best performance, the Jetfire Series is the way to go, but for those on a budget, this turbo delivers solid gains at a great price.

IMPORTANT: Please read below!!!

Choosing the Right Turbo for Your 6.0 Powerstroke

For Maximum Jet Whistle:

  • Order the 2003 Turbo.
  • Bolts onto 2004-2007 trucks but requires running one less bolt.
  • Slightly slower spool, but more top-end power and that iconic Jet Whistle sound.

For Less Whistle & More Low-End Boost:

  • Order the 2004-2007 Turbo.
  • Quieter operation, better low-RPM boost, but slightly less top-end power.
  • Not compatible with 2003 turbos without extensive modification.

📌 Custom SCT tuning is highly recommended for the best performance. Contact us if you have any questions!
