BD Diesel Turbocharger Mounting Kits: Precision Hardware from a Diesel Icon
When it comes time to remove, replace, or upgrade a turbocharger on your diesel truck, the quality of your mounting hardware matters just as much as the turbo itself. BD Diesel — a brand with roots going back to 1972 — brings that same engineering discipline to their Turbocharger Mounting Kits, giving diesel owners a complete, confidence-inspiring hardware solution for one of the most critical connections on the engine.
What's in a BD Diesel Turbocharger Mounting Kit?
BD Diesel's turbocharger mounting kits are designed to take the guesswork out of a turbo R&R (remove and reinstall) job. Each kit is application-specific and bundles everything needed for a proper, leak-free installation in one convenient package. Depending on the application, kits typically include:
- Turbo inlet and outlet gaskets — including split and open gasket styles for a reliable seal against exhaust gases
- Mounting studs and nuts — rated at minimum Class 8.8 for durability and strength under the thermal and mechanical stress of turbo operation
- O-rings and washers — addressing oil feed and drain sealing points that are common sources of post-install leaks
Rather than hunting down individual fasteners and gaskets from multiple sources, BD consolidates every necessary component into a single kit. As BD's own product language puts it, "this handy kit has all the necessary hardware for your turbo re-install to help prevent leaks and to replace any older studs that might be prone to future breakage."
Application Coverage: Cummins Focus
BD Diesel's turbocharger mounting kit lineup is particularly strong for Ram Cummins diesel owners. Key fitments include:
- 1994–2007 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins — covering classic HX35 and related turbocharger configurations with a full complement of gaskets, O-rings, studs, nuts, and washers
- 2007.5–2018 Dodge Ram 6.7L Cummins — designed specifically for the factory HE351VE and HE300VG variable-geometry turbos common to this generation
- 2019–2024 Ram 6.7L Cummins — with a dedicated HE300 turbo mounting kit covering the latest platform
This tiered coverage means that whether you're refreshing an older 12-valve truck or servicing a late-model common-rail Ram, BD has a purpose-built kit for your exact turbocharger configuration.
Why BD Diesel for Turbo Hardware?
BD Diesel is not a typical parts reseller — they are an engineering-driven manufacturer with decades of hands-on turbocharger expertise. The turbocharger industry is described as a "key technological asset" for BD, and their experienced team has developed products using precision lathes, milling equipment, honing machines, and inspection CMMs. That depth of in-house turbo knowledge directly informs the quality and fitment precision of their mounting hardware.
BD also employs CAD and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) simulation during product development, which allows their engineers to predict and engineer out potential failure points before a product ever reaches the field. For something as unforgiving as turbocharger mounting — where an exhaust leak or a snapped stud can cascade into serious engine damage — that level of engineering rigor is exactly what diesel owners should demand.
For diesel enthusiasts who want the job done right the first time, BD Diesel turbocharger mounting kits represent a straightforward, well-engineered solution backed by one of the most trusted names in the diesel performance industry.
