Call or Text (352) 722-5295Drop-in turbos for the 2017-2019 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke
The factory turbo on 2017-2019 pickups is a Garrett GT3788V: a single variable-geometry unit with no wastegate, oil-fed, water-cooled from the primary coolant loop, and mounted in the valley on a pedestal. A hydraulic actuator moves its vanes, which handle both boost control and the exhaust brake. Ford brought this turbo in for 2015 in place of the 2011-2014 GT32 SST, so a 2017-2019 truck already has the newer style and needs no retrofit kit. Chassis cabs use a ball-bearing GT3582V instead. Browse every turbo at turbos, and the rest of the engine at the Powerstroke hub.
When a new turbo makes sense
Turbo failure is not the usual reason to be here. The bearing failures that hurt 2011-2012 trucks came from the early GT32, not this unit. If you see oil in the intake, check the CCV separator before blaming the turbo; a loaded CCV sends oil mist into the compressor inlet. The real reason owners look at a drop-in is airflow. On tuned trucks, the stock GT37 becomes the ceiling around 540 rear-wheel horsepower, and past that drive pressure and exhaust gas temperatures rise.
Stock replacement vs. upgrade
If the turbo is damaged and you want factory performance back, the stock replacement for a pickup is the GT3788V. An upgrade drop-in bolts to the factory 2017-2019 pedestal and moves more air. Some drop-ins for these years carry a CARB EO number and are designed to run without tuning. A CARB EO certifies an aftermarket part as emissions-legal in all 50 states, so if your truck has to stay legal, buy a turbo that lists an EO number on its product page, and call us if the listing does not say.
What we carry

Fitment notes
Turbo pedestals and oil feed lines differ between 2015-2016, 2017-2019 and 2020-up trucks. Most titles here span wider year ranges, so confirm on the product page that the turbo is set up for the 2017-2019 pedestal. One SPE S300 Emperor listing is for trucks already running SPE aftermarket parts; read its requirements before ordering. Pickups and chassis cabs use different factory turbos, so tell us which you have. When in doubt, verify by VIN.
Frequently asked questions
Will a turbo for a 2015-2016 truck fit my 2017?
Not without checking. The 2015-2016 and 2017-2019 trucks share the GT3788V model, but Ford changed the oil supply line and pedestal for 2017. A drop-in has to be ordered for the 2017-2019 pedestal.
Do I need a retrofit kit to run a newer-style turbo?
No. Retrofit kits are for 2011-2014 trucks moving to the 2015-style turbo. A 2017-2019 truck already has it.
Does a chassis cab take the same drop-in as a pickup?
Not necessarily. 2017-2019 chassis cabs use a ball-bearing Garrett GT3582V, and pickups use the GT3788V. Confirm your truck type and the listing's fitment before ordering.
How do I know if a drop-in turbo is 50-state legal?
Look for a CARB Executive Order number on the product page. Drop-ins with an EO exist for 2017-2019 trucks and are designed to run without tuning. If a listing does not show an EO number, call the shop before you buy.
