Product Description
Dial in turbocharger clearance and fitment with the FLEECE FPE-T4PED-SPACER1.0 1.0 INCH T4 PEDESTAL SPACER. This black, ceramic-coated spacer lifts your T4 turbo by a full inch, helping clear tight engine valleys, custom piping, and firewall or cowl interference while keeping a strong, sealed connection at the flange. Designed with Duramax T4 conversions in mind but suitable for almost any T4 application, it’s a go-to piece for clean, professional turbo installs.
Key Features
- Raises T4 turbocharger mounting height by 1.0 inch for added clearance
- Black, ceramic-coated finish for durability and heat resistance
- Universal T4 flange pattern – works in a wide range of custom setups
- Commonly used on GM Duramax 6.6L T4 turbo conversions for valley clearance
- Engineered by Fleece Performance Engineering for performance and reliability
Fitment
Flange Type: Standard T4 turbocharger flange
Lift Height: 1.0 inch (25.4 mm)
Primary Use: Custom and retrofit T4 turbocharger applications where additional turbo elevation is required
Common Applications:
• 2001–2013 GM Duramax 6.6L (T4 turbo swaps and custom kits)
• Universal T4-based diesel and gasoline turbo builds requiring extra valley or component clearance
This spacer is ideal when a T4 turbo sits too low in the engine valley or interferes with manifolds, up-pipes, or chassis components. Fleece recommends using a new T4 gasket on the top and bottom of the spacer for a proper seal (gaskets not included).
Recommended Fleece Cross-Reference Items (CPP Diesel Only)
- FLEECE FPE-T4PED-SPACER1.5 1.5 INCH T4 PEDESTAL SPACER – For builds needing 1.5" of turbo lift instead of 1.0".
- FLEECE FPE-CTDA-10AN CUMMINS TURBO DRAIN TUBE ADAPTER – Converts the Cummins block drain to -10AN hose for clean drain routing.
- FLEECE FPE-CTDT-KIT CUMMINS TURBO DRAIN TUBE KIT FOR 2ND GEN SWAPS – Complete braided turbo drain kit, perfect with S300/S400 swaps.
- FLEECE FPE-34131 UNIVERSAL TURBO DRAIN NIPPLE WITH INTEGRATED O-RING SEAL 7/8 INCH HOSE – 7/8" hose drain nipple for clean, leak-free oil return.
It lifts the turbocharger 1.0 inch higher while maintaining a T4 flange interface. This extra height helps clear tight engine valleys, custom manifolds, and piping, especially on Duramax T4 conversions and other cramped installs.
Is this spacer only for Duramax engines?
No. While it’s commonly used on 2001–2013 GM Duramax 6.6L platforms with T4 turbo kits, the design is universal for any T4 flange as long as there is space and the rest of the system is compatible.
Do I need to run gaskets with this spacer?
Yes. A new T4 gasket should be used on both the top and bottom of the spacer to ensure a proper seal and prevent exhaust leaks. Gaskets are typically not included.
Can I stack this spacer with other adapters?
In many custom builds, this spacer is used along with T4 adapter plates, turbo drain adapters, and discharge adapters. Always confirm turbo position, hood and cowl clearance, and driveline angles before stacking multiple components.
Does the spacer change turbo performance?
The primary function is physical clearance, not altering turbo maps. However, gaining room for better routing of charge pipes, downpipes, and heat shielding can improve overall system reliability and consistency in high-performance setups.
Is there a Prop 65 warning for this part?
Yes. Like many performance components, this product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm. See the Specifications table for more details.
