Frequently Asked Questions
Will this FPE-351-0407 Cheetah turbo bolt directly in place of my stock turbo?
Yes. On 2004.5–2007 5.9L Cummins trucks originally equipped with the HE351CW turbo, the FPE-351-0407 is designed as a direct bolt-in replacement. It reuses the factory-style manifold, downpipe connection, intercooler piping, and oil feed/drain locations. Always confirm your truck’s original turbo and build date before ordering.
How much power can this turbo support on my 5.9L Cummins?
With proper fueling (injectors and CP3), tuning, and supporting mods, the 63mm FMW Cheetah is capable of supporting up to about 650 RWHP while maintaining strong drivability. For tow-oriented builds, a more conservative tune will keep EGTs in check and improve longevity.
Do I need custom tuning when installing the FPE-351-0407?
The turbo will physically bolt on and operate on a stock truck, but custom or revised tuning is strongly recommended to fully optimize spool, EGTs, and overall power. If you already run a tuner, consult your tuner or calibrator for a file tailored to a 63mm Cheetah on a 5.9L common-rail.
Is this turbo good for daily driving and towing, or just racing?
This Cheetah is built to be a true all-around performer. It offers stock-like spool for street manners and towing, yet has enough airflow for aggressive fueling and weekend competition use. When properly matched to your setup and tuning, it works great as a daily driver and tow rig turbo while still being capable of serious power.
What other Fleece parts pair well with this turbo on my 2004.5–2007 truck?
For a clean and reliable setup, many customers add Fleece turbo oil feed and drain components and S300/S400 install hardware for future upgrades. Popular options include the FPE-TURBO-INST-KIT-CUMM59, FPE-CRTFL-S3S4 oil feed line, FPE-CTDA-10AN drain adapter, and FPE-CTDT-KIT drain tube kit, all of which are available from CPP Diesel.
