Designed with durable cast iron and water-cooled center housing, this single VNT turbocharger supports efficient air and fuel delivery for select Chevrolet Express, GMC Savana, Sierra, and Silverado models.
- Constructed from cast iron for durability and heat resistance
- Uncoated finish suitable for standard operating conditions
- Water cooling center housing to maintain optimal temperature
- Single variable nozzle turbine (VNT) design for improved boost control
- Includes gasket or seal for proper installation
- Journal bearing type for reliable shaft support
- Vacuum-operated wastegate/blow-off valve for pressure regulation
Detailed Product Description
This turbocharger (part number 2511306) features a cast iron construction that withstands the high temperatures and pressures typical in turbocharged engines. The water-cooled center housing helps dissipate heat effectively, reducing thermal stress and extending component life. Its single VNT design allows for variable turbine geometry, optimizing boost pressure across a wide RPM range, which enhances engine responsiveness and efficiency.
The journal bearing system provides stable shaft rotation and durability under demanding conditions. The vacuum-operated wastegate/blow-off valve ensures precise control of exhaust gas flow, preventing overboost and maintaining engine safety. This turbocharger comes with the necessary gasket or seal to ensure a proper fit and prevent leaks during installation.
Compatible Vehicles and Applications
This turbocharger is compatible with the following Chevrolet and GMC models:
- Chevrolet Express 2500 and 3500
- GMC Savana 2500 and 3500
