An aftermarket system designed to significantly enhance the power output of a 5.7-liter internal combustion engine, commonly found in various vehicle makes and models. This performance upgrade typically comprises a turbocharger, exhaust manifold(s), intake piping, intercooler, and necessary supporting components like fuel injectors and engine management system modifications.
The installation of such a system can yield a substantial increase in horsepower and torque, improving acceleration and overall driving performance. Historically, these systems have been popular among automotive enthusiasts seeking to extract more power from their engines without the complexity of a complete engine swap. The benefits include a potentially more cost-effective power gain compared to other modification methods, although careful tuning and professional installation are generally recommended to ensure optimal and reliable performance.
