Product Description
The ATS 202-A35-2218 Aurora 3000/5000 Compound Turbo System is a high-performance upgrade for 1998.5-2002 5.9L Cummins engines, designed to deliver massive horsepower gains while maintaining excellent drivability and towing capability. This compound turbo setup combines the responsiveness of a smaller turbo with the top-end power of a larger turbo, providing a broad powerband and efficient airflow across all RPM ranges.
By pairing the Aurora 3000 and Aurora 5000 turbochargers, this system significantly reduces turbo lag while supporting high boost levels needed for performance builds. The result is faster spool-up, increased airflow, lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), and improved overall engine efficiency.
Ideal for towing, racing, and high-horsepower street applications, this complete compound turbo kit is engineered for durability and consistent performance under extreme conditions.
FAQ
Q: What is a compound turbo system?
A: A compound turbo system uses two turbos working together to provide quick spool-up from a small turbo and high airflow from a larger turbo, improving both low-end and top-end performance.
Q: Will this reduce turbo lag?
A: Yes, the Aurora 3000 provides quick response while the Aurora 5000 supports higher boost, significantly reducing lag compared to a single large turbo.
Q: Is this system good for towing?
A: Yes, compound turbos are excellent for towing because they provide strong low-end torque while keeping exhaust temperatures under control.
Q: Do I need supporting modifications?
A: Yes, fueling upgrades, tuning, and supporting engine components are recommended to fully utilize the performance of this system.
