Popular Build Paths
Extreme Single Turbo Builds: For high-horsepower Cummins, Powerstroke, or Duramax engines aiming for 1,000+ HP, this unit delivers huge airflow. Fuel system, intercooler, and supporting mods must match.
Compound Potential: Can be used as the high-pressure charger in compound setups where fast spool and crazy top end are required.

FAQ
Will the 179182 bolt onto my factory manifold?
No. The 179182 uses a T6 twin-scroll turbine inlet (designed to match T6 flanges). Your factory manifold is likely T4 or T6 depending on application; verify fitment or plan to adapt manifold and downpipe.
How much boost / airflow can I expect?
Expect upward of ~130 lb/min compressor airflow. Boost depends heavily on fuel, displacement, intercooler, and supporting mods. For race or drag duty, this turbo can support 1000-1300+ whp with proper setup. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
What inlet / outlet & wheel sizes does it use?
Compressor: 82.2mm inducer / 110mm exducer extended-tip. Turbine: 87mm wheel. Housing is twin-scroll, 1.25 A/R.
Is this suitable for street use?
Only in built or modified vehicles with upgraded fueling, cooling, and driveline. Spool will be slower than smaller S-series chargers. For daily-driving, you may prefer a smaller A/R or a compound setup.
Do I need special supporting hardware?
Yes. You’ll need high-flow intake, strong turbo oil feed & return, proper exhaust, and possibly upgraded intercooling or charge piping to handle the flow.
Can CPP build compound or dual setup around this?
Yes. We can help spec upstream / downstream pairing, gates, sensors, and all fabrication. Contact us for custom compound kits.
