Little turbo with a punch
"Installed on my manual dodge paired with BBI 0. 5 and some tuning, basically instant spool up. 10x better than the 62/65 turbo I had previously. I did have to clock the turbo 3/4 of a inch to clear the shock tower."

ATS Diesel Performance, based out of Arvada, Colorado, is a diesel performance manufacturing company that designs, engineers, and manufactures upgraded transmission components, valve bodies, patented heavy-duty torque converters, exhaust and intake manifolds, electronics, turbochargers, dual CP3 injection pumps, and more for Cummins, Powerstroke, and Duramax powered diesel trucks. Operating out of a humongous 110,000 square foot facility in the heart of the Rocky Mountains allows ATS to keep operations in-house, as opposed to overseas sourcing, and then grueling test their products at altitude and through grades and descents that would make other companies think twice. From full-time RV users who travel nonstop to high-horsepower competition-based vehicles, ATS has the answers.
ATS DIESEL TRANSMISSIONSClint Cannon and Ranee Elder founded Automotive Transmission Specialists in 1993. At that time, the company specialized in transmission repair for all types of vehicles. In 1997, the company "Performance Torque Converters" was founded, and they started doing torque converter rebuilds in-house. Bringing the capability of building torque converters in-house gave them more flexibility to service their racing customers. As the popularity of diesel trucks grew and more people became aware of the power upgrades available for their diesels, problems with diesel transmissions emerged.
Clint started research and development into a more robust torque converter to address the transmission issues. It was discovered that a clutch pack design was the answer to providing a robust torque converter. The development of the TripleLok Torque Converter and the company's focus on Diesel Performance products resulted in a rename of the company to ATS Diesel Performance.
By having their foot in the door before most, it allowed ATS Diesels transmission upgrades to grow with the demands of diesel trucks, putting them at the forefront of reliability. Fortunately for us, Clint didn't stop with transmissions and began to explore and refine upgraded turbochargers, intake and exhaust manifolds, and anything else to generate additional power with the ever-present mindset of maintaining powertrain reliability.

"Installed on my manual dodge paired with BBI 0. 5 and some tuning, basically instant spool up. 10x better than the 62/65 turbo I had previously. I did have to clock the turbo 3/4 of a inch to clear the shock tower."
"Delivered as advertised! You're informative video was really helpful too and I did a lot of research on turbos in this thing was perfect for my basically stock 5'9 2005 Dodge!"
"The turbo is fine but the install instructions were lacking since a 3rd gen cummins could have a slightly different turbo set up between the years. My 03 stock turbo oil drain line will not butt up correctly to the drain fitting from the block once attached to the turbo. I had to buy a flexible one to make it work. Also during the install, I found the exhaust elbow will not mate up to the rear of the Aurora 3000 without some pursuation. There was a decent gap that did not allow you to soft mount both brackets on the exhaust elbow to then have them pull everything together. To make it work, I attatched the elbow to the down pipe first, then forced the elbow to the rear of the turbo by pulling on the exhaust. When I read direct replacement, I did not expect fitment issues in a stock truck. I am happy with the turbo but I am disappointed in the fitment issues and directions. The ATS pulse flow exhaust manifold had similar issues with lack of instructions on a coolant line that was in the way. Annoying but not the end of the world."
"Definitely an improvement in low end torque. I haven’t had a chance of putting many miles on it, but going around intersections that I had to downshift to 3rd, I’m comfortably making in 4th. I had a question about a sensor mount on the turbo that didn’t make sense for my year and got a quick answer with a phone call. Great customer service!"
"I have really enjoyed the Aurora 3000 I have gained drivablty and slight increased fuel mileage overall Im verry happy with the new turbo."
"Perfect drop in turbo! I am in love with this turbo and header combo. Turbo is fast spooling compared to my stock it has an awesome sound looks bad ass. Easy install. Hardest part was removing bolts to exhaust manifold with a little bit penetration oil and time came right out."
"Great product, looks awesome, and was the upgrade my truck needed over stock"
"Easy install, amazing sound, and added some scoot ta boot! No giant snap your head back power but it helps get that trailer rolling when loaded down. Can’t demand much more without head studs and more fuel. So if keeping it on the stock end of the upgrade spectrum then this thing is definitely the best upgrade you can make. DPP is hands down the only place to buy the things that make men happy. Now whistle Dixie on through the night!"
"Runs good but doesn't perform the way I thought it would"
"I love that it doesn't need a wastegate"
