Holset VGT Turbos

Need help finding the right Holset VGT turbo? Provide your engine serial number or VIN, and we’ll help you choose the perfect match!

Holset VGT turbos are variable geometry turbochargers produced by Cummins. They are typically used to maximize the engine performance of heavy-duty trucks, industrial equipment, and light-duty vehicles. They also help improve fuel economy and use an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system to help reduce NOx emissions. There are a number of Holset VGT turbos available that can replace the turbocharger in your truck or light-duty vehicle. If you are interested in replacing your turbocharger with a Holset turbo, we can help you choose the right turbocharger that is compatible with your vehicle.

HD Turbo offers a wide range of Holset VGT turbos that can help optimize the performance of your engine, improve fuel economy, and reduce NOx emissions. Our remanufactured Holset turbochargers have been meticulously cleaned and repaired, rebuilt, balanced, and calibrated so you can expect a performance level on par with a new turbocharger.

What is a Holset VGT Turbo and How Does it Work?

Holset VGT turbochargers were developed by Cummins Turbo Technologies who pioneered VGT technology for the commercial vehicle market. These turbochargers feature a sliding nozzle ring for a wider flow range and higher boost pressures at low engine speeds. They also use a highly efficient EGR system to help reduce NOx emissions.

What makes Holset VGT turbos different is that they feature vanes that slide axially which requires fewer moving parts and less sites where wear and tear may occur. Because of this technology, Holset turbos are among the most durable and reliable turbochargers for commercial diesel applications. Cummins Turbo Technologies continues to improve upon the technology of Holset VGT turbos to improve their efficiency.

The following are the main benefits of Holset VGT turbochargers:

  • Fuel efficiency: Holset VGT turbos improve the fuel efficiency of the engine and can help reduce NOx emissions.
  • Durability: The axially sliding vanes reduce wear and tear which makes these turbos highly durable and reliable.
  • Low speed torque: The improved low speed torque helps reduce turbo lag.
  • Quick spool time: The quick spool time of Holset VGT turbos allows for the delivery of full boost pressure much faster.
  • Air-to-fuel ratio: The improved air-to-fuel ratio helps the engine operate more efficiently.
  • Clean combustion: Holset VGT turbos allow for cleaner combustion to help protect the environment.
  • Transient response: The improved transient response helps the engine accelerate better.
  • Dynamic power demand: Holset VGTs are a great option for high power demand vehicles.

How do I know if my Holset turbo needs to be rebuilt or replaced?

If you experience any of the following issues with your Holset VGT turbo, it may need to be rebuilt or replaced:

  • Performance issues: A failing Holset turbo can cause engine power loss during acceleration, difficulty maintaining highway speed, and sluggish throttle response.
  • Exhaust smoke: Blue or black exhaust smoke is a sign of a failing turbo.
  • Unusual sounds: A failing turbo can cause unusual noises such as whining and whistling noises, which are more prominent during acceleration.
  • Oil leaks: Problems with the turbocharger can cause visible oil leaks around the turbocharger housing.
  • Dashboard warning lights: Failing turbochargers cause the check engine light to come on.

When experiencing issues with your turbocharger, it is best to have it inspected by a qualified technician for an accurate diagnosis. Whether or not your turbocharger should be rebuilt or replaced will depend on the type and severity of the issue.

How long does a Holset turbo rebuild take and what is the cost?

The amount of time it takes to rebuild a Holset turbo depends on the complexity of the repair, whether the parts are available, and the workload of the shop doing the rebuild. If the parts are available and the repairs are not too complex, a Holset turbo can be rebuilt in 3-5 business days. It may take a week or longer for more complex repairs or if parts need to be ordered.

It can cost between $999 and $4000 to rebuild a Holset turbo depending on the extent of the damage, parts needed, and labor involved.
