Use cases and applications
What it does
Exhaust gas spins the turbine, which drives the compressor wheel on the same shaft and pushes more air into the engine. More air lets the engine burn more fuel cleanly, giving the rated power.
Where it is used
Made for the Cummins KTA19 and KTA38 engines. The full list is in the tables above.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my Cummins KTA19?
Yes, it was made for the Cummins KTA19, and 1 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old turbocharger is marked 3524451 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the turbocharger on my Cummins KTA19?
On the Cummins KTA19, often as long as the engine, 8,000 hours or more, when the oil and air filters are kept on schedule. Most turbos fail early from oil or dirt problems, not age.
What are the signs the turbocharger needs replacing?
Blue or black smoke, a whistle or siren noise, loss of power, oil in the intake or exhaust, or the shaft rubbing the housing.
What should I do before the first start?
Pour clean engine oil into the oil inlet and turn the shaft by hand, then crank the engine with the fuel cut until oil pressure shows. Let it idle for a minute before load.
Should I change the oil and filter as well?
Yes. Fit new oil and a new filter, and replace the oil feed and drain gaskets. Make sure the drain line is clear and runs downhill.
Is this a genuine Cummins 3524451?
No. It is an aftermarket turbocharger made to replace the Cummins 3524451. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
