Why Upgrade Your Turbo? 🤔
First off, let’s chat about why you might want to upgrade your turbo in the first place. The Detroit Series 60 has been a workhorse for decades, but if you’re looking to squeeze out a little more horsepower and efficiency, a turbo upgrade can make all the difference!

The Best Turbo Upgrades for Your Detroit Series 60 🔧
1. BorgWarner K31 (172743) 🥇
- Perfect for: Stock trucks looking for a little extra oomph!
- Features: Billet 71mm wheel and a small wastegated housing for quick spool-up.
If you’re just looking to replace your stock turbo with something that gives you a bit more kick without going overboard, the K31 is where you want to be! It’s reliable and easy to bolt on. 🔥
2. BorgWarner 171702 🚀
- Ideal for: Those who want a popular option but don’t mind putting in some work.
This one’s a go-to for many folks, but I’ll be honest—it can be a bit laggy if you don’t feed it enough fuel! It’s got a cast 75mm wheel and is known for being cost-effective. Just remember, if you’re pushing a stock engine, it might not be the best fit.
3. Billet 11 Blade S475 💨
- Great for: Higher RPMs and peak horsepower.
With a higher blade count and a robust 360-degree thrust bearing, this turbo is all about performance. If you want something that can handle the heat and keep pushing power, this is your choice. It’s like going from a compact car to a sports car—hang on tight! 🏁
4. BorgWarner S476 SXE 🌟
- Best for: Trucks around 650 horsepower.
This bad boy is designed for those mid to high RPMs. It’s got a race cover and is a little twitchy, much like riding a two-stroke dirt bike—exciting but requires finesse! If you’re looking to dominate those open highways, consider this turbo!
5. BorgWarner S410SX 🏆
- For: Serious horsepower enthusiasts, think 650-700 HP!
This is the biggest turbo we usually recommend for road applications. It comes with a robust bearing housing, perfect for heavy-duty performance. Just keep in mind that you may need to tweak your oil line a bit for this one. But trust me, the power gain will be worth it! 💥
Don’t Forget Supporting Mods! 🔄
Now, before you slap on a turbo and hit the road, remember: it’s not just about the turbo! To really make those power gains work for you, you’ll need to ensure you have the right supporting modifications in place. This means upgrading your injectors, tuning your engine, and maybe even swapping out your cam. Think of it like assembling a band—every player has to be in sync for the best performance! 🎸🥁
