Take your 2003–2007 Ford 6.0L Powerstroke to the next level with the Smeding Diesel Stage 1 VGT Turbo—a 100% drop-in replacement turbo designed for reliability, power, and seamless fitment. Choose between the affordable 63.5 × 88 mm single-plane cast wheel or step up to the extended-blade billet option for enhanced airflow and responsiveness.
