BD Diesel Performance Turbo Mount Exhaust Brake
Increase
your driving confidence and towing safety with the superior
retarding performance of the BD Brake for your Cummins! Using BD’s
exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, BD’s turbo-mount design bolts in place of the factory elbow between the
turbo and the exhaust system, providing peak retarding power throughout
the engine’s rpm range—not just at high rpm like other brands.
Designed for years of reliable operation, the BD Brake’s rugged
cast-iron housing incorporates BD’s exclusive AlumiBronze bushing and
piston ring-sealed, stainless steel butterfly shaft that has proven to
stand up under the harsh, high-heat conditions of the exhaust
environment. Actuated by an air cylinder, the offset butterfly valve
won’t stick, and has been strategically placed in the elbow so that it
won’t impede exhaust flow when in the open position. The BD brake
incorporates a threaded port for mounting an Exhaust Gas Temperature
probe, as well as a 1/4-inch stainless steel port that can be used to
monitor the brake’s retarding performance. Got a modified or twin-turbo
application? BD’s remote-mount four-inch kits are an
effective solution.
Controlled by a lighted On/Off toggle switch for automatic
transmissions, or stick-mounted rocker switch for manual transmissions,
the BD brake communicates with the engine’s electronic idle
verification board for quick engagement. The durable air compressor can even be used for other
applications—it’s that tough.
ECM controlled on 06-07 Dodges, does not require a converter lock-up controller for automatics.
All BD Brake kits come complete with the brake, air compressor, mounting hardware and complete instructions.
