KC300x Stage 3 66/73 Gen 2 Turbocharger

The KC Turbos KC300x Stage 3 66/73 Gen 2 Turbo is engineered as a 100% drop-in replacement for 1999-2003 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 models equipped with the 7.3L Powerstroke engine. This turbocharger aims to significantly wake up your engine's performance by incorporating a 66mm 7x7 SXE style compressor wheel featuring extended tip technology for increased airflow and a 73mm SXE style turbine wheel. The design includes a 4-inch ported compressor housing with a drilled anti-surge ring to manage airflow and prevent compressor surge, along with a high-flow, non-EBPV outlet flange. Built for reliability and performance, the KC300x features an upgraded 360 thrust journal bearing design and an adjustable wastegate actuator for precise boost control. It comes standard with a .84 A/R housing, which is recommended for dedicated tow rigs and daily drivers seeking quicker spool times and cooler EGTs below 3000 RPM. An alternative 1.0 A/R housing option is available for applications focused on cooling EGTs above 3000 RPM. This turbo has been torture tested for longevity and validated on the dyno and at the race track. Included with the turbo are all necessary gaskets, o-rings, a 4-inch intake boot, and all mounting hardware, ensuring a comprehensive installation. It's important to note potential fitment issues with certain exhaust brakes, as some designs may cause clearance problems or hinder performance due to their operational mechanism, which relies on extreme exhaust back pressure. Customers should verify compatibility and functionality if an exhaust brake is utilized.
