Tuning and Supporting Modifications

⚠️ Custom Tuning Highly Recommended: Custom tuning is highly recommended to match the Stage 1 turbocharger to the engine and supporting components. This turbocharger can operate on the factory calibration; a matched custom tune helps use its added airflow capability.

Supporting Modifications: Upgrade components as needed to support your intended power level.

• Larger injectors and fuel-system upgrades may be needed to reach the listed power range.
• Intake and intercooler upgrades may be needed to reach the listed power range.
• Adequate exhaust flow and leak-free up-pipes.
• Boost and exhaust-gas-temperature monitoring during setup and loaded operation.

SPOOLOGIC does not provide custom tuning services. Customers are responsible for arranging application-appropriate tuning with a qualified tuning provider.

Power Support

Approximately 500–600 rear-wheel horsepower with a properly matched build. This is total power-support capacity, not a promised horsepower increase. Actual output depends on engine condition, calibration, fuel delivery, and the complete vehicle combination.

Pedestal and Coolant Feed Line

The SL-100-044 uses a GT37 journal-bearing design and retains the factory up-pipes, downpipe, intake manifold, and turbo inlet boot. The included 2017–2019-style pedestal and coolant feed line adapt it to 2015–2016 pickups. In the listed 2017–2019 applications, it fits the factory mounting arrangement.

Compressor Wheel

• Inducer diameter: 63.5 mm
• Exducer diameter: 88 mm
• Extended-tip diameter: 94 mm
• Blade configuration: 11 full-length blades with no splitters
• Compressor wheel material: 5-axis CNC-machined billet aluminum

Turbine Shaft

• Turbine inducer: 72.5 mm
• Turbine exducer: 66 mm
• Turbine blade count: 10
• Turbine wheel material: High-nickel Inconel

Bearings, Seals, and Balancing

Like every complete SPOOLOGIC turbocharger, the SL-100-044 is assembled with upgraded internal components and receives high-speed VSR balancing before shipment.

• Extreme-duty journal bearings — Bronze alloy with updated oil grooves
• 360-degree thrust bearing — Increased bearing area for axial loads
• Step-gap seal rings — Improved sealing and oil control
• High-speed VSR balancing — Smooth, consistent operation

VGT Control System

The turbocharger is assembled with a new VGT control solenoid and a factory-style 2017–2019 vane cage and unison-ring assembly. VGT-based exhaust-brake operation is supported, with actual exhaust-brake behavior dependent on the vehicle’s calibration and any exhaust-braking strategy programmed by the tune provider.

Coatings and Finish Options

The turbine housing, center-section exterior, and pedestal are ceramic coated to help manage radiant heat and resist oxidation. Heat reduction varies with operating conditions. The finish options below apply only to the compressor housing.

• Raw: Natural aluminum with no coating
• Red: Red powder-coated finish
• Black: Black powder-coated finish

Installation Notes

• Reuse the existing intake manifold, turbo inlet boot, and heat shield.
• Reuse the original pedestal-to-engine-block bolts.
