    This is a 460hp, 1580 CPL. Whose ya’lls choices for buying a replacement turbo from? Heavy & Highway has them from Interstate McBee. FleetPride has Borg Warner and Holset. Prices from these three, range from $1050- $1600. Any other recommendations, aside from CumminGs?

    I’m old school I still call the Borg Warners, Schwitzers. Those were the original turbos used by Cummins long before they bought Holset. Great sound. Tried and true and many went millions of miles. Legend has it, If you had a pump set just right you could make a schwitzer whistle at idle on the peddle with your toe as a woman walked by a row of parked trucks. Lol.

    For parts like this, check into the progressive damage warranty coverage. This means, if an aftermarket turbo fails and ruins your engine, does the aftermarket company cover the progressive damage to the rest of your engine their failed part caused? Many of them do not.

    Unheard of on turbos and not likely that will happen. Too many people attempt a turbo and diagnose the issue wrong. I have yet to see a turbo ruin an engine.

    Better off buying a Holset new or Reman if your set on OEM. You also won't get stuck having to to take it in to a certified Cummins shop if it fails. Pretty simple turbos not likely.
