Compatible CPLs: While specific CPL numbers vary, this turbo fits most standard 4BT CPLs using single turbo configurations.
Turbo Hardware & Connection Components
Hump Hose – 3.5" to 3" Turbo Inlet Reducer
Boost piping often requires adapting between mismatched diameters—our high-quality hump hose makes this easy. This flexible silicone coupling allows for vibration isolation and secure fitment when adapting a 3.5-inch turbo outlet to a 3-inch intake or intercooler inlet.
-
Heavy-duty construction rated for high-boost applications
-
Excellent resistance to heat and oil mist
-
Ideal for 4BT intercooler retrofits or turbo upgrades
Use this part when retrofitting or maintaining charge air systems where turbo piping diameters vary from the stock configuration.
Turbo Mounting Studs – Set of 4
Reliable turbo mounting hardware is essential. This OEM-grade turbo stud fits the Cummins 4BT and comes in a set of four—the exact number required to mount a standard turbocharger to the exhaust manifold.
-
Threaded for precise fitment with minimal vibration
-
Corrosion-resistant coating for marine and harsh environments
-
Ensures consistent torque and safe operation
Note: Always replace turbo studs during turbocharger replacement to avoid future failures due to thermal cycling or fatigue.
Air Management Components
Cummins AirSep System – Single Turbo Setup
The Cummins AirSep system is an advanced crankcase ventilation solution designed for marine and stationary Cummins 4BT engines using a single turbo. This unit helps eliminate oil mist, reduce blow-by, and ensure clean intake air.
-
Fits Cummins 4BT 3.9L engines with single turbo
-
3-inch throat diameter for clean air flow
-
Combines crankcase filtration with intake filtration in one system
-
Ideal for high-hour or emissions-regulated installations
Applications: Marine vessels, standby generators, water pumps, and more.
Intake Manifold Gasket for Cummins 4BT
A clean, leak-free intake manifold is essential for turbocharged engine performance. This gasket forms a precise seal between the intake manifold and the cylinder head on the 4BT engine.
-
Durable composite material resists high temperatures
-
Maintains intake boost pressure integrity
-
Prevents unmetered air from entering the engine
Always inspect and replace this gasket when servicing the intake or turbo system.
Turbo Oil & Coolant System Components
Turbo Oil Drain Gasket – Cummins 4BT
This small but critical gasket ensures a proper seal at the turbocharger’s oil drain outlet. A failed gasket can lead to oil leaks, turbo contamination, and poor lubrication.
-
Compatible with Cummins 4BT, 6BT, ISB, and QSB turbochargers
-
Heat-resistant materials suitable for sustained high temps
-
Easy drop-in replacement
Recommended to replace this gasket any time the turbo is removed or replaced.
Aftercooler O-Ring for Cummins 4BT and Related Engines
This high-quality O-ring is used to seal aftercooler joints across multiple Cummins engine platforms including the 4BT, 4BTA, 6BT, 6BTA, ISB4.5, ISB6.7, QSB4.5, and QSB6.7.
-
Premium elastomer formulation resists oil, heat, and pressure
-
Ensures charge air cooling system operates at full efficiency
-
Helps maintain consistent boost and intake air temps
Proper aftercooler sealing is especially critical in marine environments, where air-cooled charge air systems are often exposed to salt-laden atmospheres.
Sealant for Turbo Mounting
762 Hi-Temperature Jointing Compound
Turbocharger systems operate under extreme temperature conditions. The 762 compound is a premium jointing material designed to create gas-tight seals on turbo flanges, exhaust manifolds, and other high-heat joints.
-
Withstands up to 760°C (1,400°F)
-
Compatible with Cummins and Detroit Diesel turbos
-
225-gram tube ideal for multiple applications
-
Remains pliable over time to resist vibration cracking
Perfect for sealing metal-to-metal joints in turbo systems where traditional gaskets may fail or are not used.

-
Boost leak test: After installation, check your charge air system for leaks to prevent power loss.
-
Don’t forget the drain gasket: It's a cheap part that can prevent costly oil messes.
