Performance Benefits
Reduced Turbo Lag
The advanced billet compressor wheel design and optimized VGT geometry virtually eliminate turbo lag, delivering power exactly when you need it.
Whether you're merging onto highways, climbing steep grades, or accelerating from a stop, the Big Rig 56500 responds instantly to throttle input.
Your truck will feel more responsive and easier to drive in every situation.
Faster Spool-Up
The lightweight 64mm billet aluminum compressor wheel reduces rotational mass while maintaining structural integrity, letting the turbocharger reach optimal boost pressure significantly faster than stock units.
This quicker spool-up delivers stronger acceleration from lower RPMs, reduces the need for downshifting, and improves fuel economy during normal driving.
Enhanced Airflow and Cooling
The aerodynamically optimized compressor wheel moves significantly more air than stock turbochargers, improving cylinder filling and combustion efficiency.
This increased airflow directly lowers exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), reduces engine operating temperatures, and decreases thermal stress on critical engine components.
Cooler running temperatures extend engine life, reduce maintenance costs, and improve reliability—especially important for high-mileage commercial applications.
Improved Engine Reliability
By reducing operating temperatures and providing more efficient combustion, the Big Rig 56500 protects your engine investment.
Lower EGTs mean less stress on pistons, rings, valves, and head gaskets. More efficient airflow reduces the workload on your cooling system.
The result is an engine that runs cleaner, cooler, and more efficiently, with the potential for significantly extended service intervals and reduced long-term maintenance costs.
Installation and Compatibility
The turbocharger features:
- Factory-correct mounting flanges and bolt patterns
- OEM-specification oil feed and drain connections
- Correct coolant line routing and fittings
- Proper exhaust inlet and outlet sizing
- Compatible with all factory emission control systems
- No ECM reprogramming required for installation
Installation requires standard diesel technician tools and follows conventional turbocharger replacement procedures.
The unit arrives pre-assembled and pre-balanced, ready to install. All necessary gaskets and hardware are included.

DETAIL
Full Tilt Performance manifolds have been designed to improve on all aspects over the manufacturers. All of our manifolds are cast out of a proprietary high quality blended steel, one of the hardest and most heat tolerant metals available today.
Thicker exhaust flanges and center dividers provide greater strength and durability for even the hardest working trucks. The joints have been designed with tighter tolerances, 50% more surface contact, and are press fit to ensure that they never leak. With thousands of hours of work by our engineering team, we have eliminated the sharp turns and twists to create smooth airflow to the turbo.
From there we top it off by smoothing out the interior even more by hand. Then we apply our high temperature resistant CeramiChrome coating to not just make them eye appealing but to add another heat barrier that keeps the exhaust gas energy moving to your turbo to improve turbo response. No manifold goes out the door without being flow tested to insure that they flow at least 20 Cubic Feet of air per Minute (CFM) more per port.
We do all of this to give you .2-.3 more MPG and the peace of mind that you have the most proven, highest flowing, and most reliable manifold on the market.
Plus, the best part is it’s all done here in the USA. Each manifold is proudly cast saying “Made in the USA.”
