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 6CTAA 8.3L diesel engine.

Frequently asked questions
Will it replace my Cummins 4050205?
Yes, it is a direct replacement for the Cummins 4050205 with the same fitting.
How often should I replace the Cummins 4050205?
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.
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.
Why did the old turbo fail?
Most failures come from oil starvation, dirty oil, or something passing through the wheels. Find the cause first: a blocked oil feed or dirty air path will kill the new turbocharger too.
Is this a genuine Cummins 4050205?
No. It is an aftermarket turbocharger made to replace the Cummins 4050205. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
