The BD Diesel Turbo Thruster II Kit for Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999.5–2003) is a purpose-built upgrade designed for pickup trucks, delivering reliable, real-world performance with CARB compliance. This isn’t a guess at boost curves—it’s a thoughtfully engineered turbo system that smooths power delivery across daily driving, towing, and off-road moments.

• 360-degree thrust bearing with a robust back plate: BD designed this assembly to handle higher boost and sustained high-RPM intervals, dramatically reducing heat buildup and wear so you can run longer without worry.
• 66 mm Ballistic Billet compressor wheel: Provides strong, surge-free boost across the RPM range, delivering a linear torque curve that you can feel on acceleration and when climbing grades.
• 0.84 A/R turbine housing: Optimizes exhaust flow to lower exhaust temperatures and reduce smoke during acceleration, while minimizing boost creep for steadier performance.
• Heavy Duty Waste Gate: Precise boost control to maximize performance without spikes or lag, so your throttle response remains predictable in demanding conditions.
• 1050 CFM / 525 HP capable turbine/compressor: A meaningful power and torque increase over stock, with a focus on reliability and durability under real-world use.
• Serviceable GTP38 design with oil-resistant intake hose and clamp: Easy maintenance and long-term durability, plus a safer, more robust intake connection against oil and heat.
• CARB-compliant and street-legal in all 50 states (EO D-553-2): You can install with confidence on daily drivers and tow rigs alike, without state-by-state limitations.
• Install practicality: Approximately 4 hours to install with included hardware and a new oil-resistant intake hose, making a bolt-in upgrade feasible for a capable weekend project.
• Warranty: Parts are covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles, reflecting BD Diesel’s confidence in durability for the long haul.

What this upgrade means in the real world

• Towing and hills: Expect steadier boost delivery as you climb grades, with cooler exhaust temperatures and less peak-and-fall fluctuation in boost. This translates to more consistent pulling power and reduced engine stress during long pulls.
• Off-road and rugged terrain: In challenging terrain, a predictable, linear boost matters more than peak numbers. The Thruster II maintains reliable power with reduced under-hood heat, helping electronics and components stay cooler during long, technical crawls.
• Daily driving: You’ll notice smoother throttle response and more confident acceleration at typical urban and highway speeds, with less likelihood of annoying surge or lag at mid-to-high RPMs.

Who should consider the Thruster II Kit? Enthusiasts upgrading a Ford 7.3L Power Stroke for enhanced reliability, stronger yet more controllable performance, and CARB-compliant operation for daily driving, light towing, or demanding off-road work. If you want a bolt-in upgrade that lowers exhaust temperatures, delivers cleaner, steadier boost, and uses durable components designed for long life, the BD Diesel Turbo Thruster II Kit is built for the job.
