⚠️ Cartridge Only — Reuse Your Turbo Housings

This product contains the assembled turbocharger center section and the installation gasket kit. Reuse the original HE351CW compressor and turbine housings. Inspect them for cracks, wheel-contact damage, and other defects before assembly. The wastegate actuator and electronic wastegate control solenoid are not included.

7+7 Cast Compressor Wheel

The cartridge uses the SPOOLOGIC SL-220-078 compressor wheel in the HE351CW turbocharger.

• Compressor wheel: SL-220-078
• Blade design: 7+7
• Compressor inducer: 60 mm
• Compressor exducer: 86 mm
• Material: Cast aluminum
• Installation: Supplied installed as part of the balanced CHRA

Turbine Shaft

• Turbine inducer: 65 mm
• Turbine exducer: 58 mm
• Blade count: 12

The High-nickel Inconel turbine wheel is welded to the shaft as a single rotating unit.

Upgraded Internals — Standard

Each cartridge includes upgraded internal components for shaft support, axial loads, and oil control.

• Extreme-duty journal bearings and spacer: Support the turbocharger shaft and its lubricating oil film
• 360-degree thrust bearing and collars: Provide full-circle thrust-bearing support for axial shaft loads
• Step-gap seal rings: Installed at the compressor and turbine ends to help control oil leakage

High-Speed VSR Balancing

The complete CHRA—including the compressor wheel, turbine shaft, bearings, thrust components, and seals—is assembled in the SPOOLOGIC center housing and high-speed VSR balanced before shipment. Keep the compressor wheel, shaft, and rotating components assembled during installation to preserve that balance. The supplied CHRA requires no internal rebuild before installation; the outer housings still require inspection, correct alignment, and proper assembly.

Installation Notes

• Match the cartridge to the original turbocharger identification, compressor housing, and turbine housing before disassembly.
• Inspect the housings, mounting surfaces, and oil passages. A new cartridge does not repair damaged housings or correct an unresolved oil-supply problem.
• Inspect the wastegate mechanism and actuator and the electronic wastegate control solenoid before reuse. Cartridge replacement does not repair a faulty boost-control component.
• Follow the applicable service procedures for cleaning, housing alignment and clocking, bolt tightening, oil-system preparation, and initial startup.
• Keep the rotating assembly intact. Do not loosen the compressor-wheel nut during housing installation.
• Verify free wheel rotation and check for oil, intake, and exhaust leaks before returning the vehicle to service.

Turbo Applications

Cartridge replacement for the HE351CW turbocharger configuration used in the listed 5.9L Cummins application.

The HE351CW uses a wastegate with electronic boost-control regulation; it is not a variable-geometry turbocharger. This cartridge is not listed for the 6.7L Cummins HE351VE VGT application.

For the early 2003–2004 mechanical-wastegate cartridge application, see SL-200-080.

Complete-turbo alternative for the listed vehicle application: SL-100-082. Confirm the wheel and housing configuration before selecting a cartridge for an existing turbocharger.
