Maximize Your CAT Engine's Performance with Switchblade Turbochargers

As a CAT engine owner, you already appreciate your engine's power, reliability, and versatility in transportation, construction, and heavy-duty applications. But even the most robust CAT engines, such as the 3406 Series or the Acerts, can benefit from enhancements to optimize performance—and that’s where Jim Blaylock’s Switchblade Turbochargers come in.

Take our friend Jon at M&D Repair (one of the many CAT Engines he works on is pictured above), for example.  He reported improved gas mileage after adding a Switchblade Turbo to his rig, with his CAT 3406 series engine going from 6 MPG to 6.5 MPG.

But Jon’s story isn’t uncommon. With over a century of combined expertise in turbocharger design and remanufacturing, our solutions are tailored to help CAT engines achieve their full potential. Switchblade Turbochargers are engineered to deliver measurable improvements in key performance areas:

Enhanced Fuel Efficiency

Fuel costs are a significant expense in industries relying on CAT engines. Our turbochargers are designed to maximize airflow and combustion efficiency, specifically at low RPM ranges, resulting in increased fuel mileage. For example, one fleet owner reported a jump from 4.1 to 5.9 MPG after installing a Switchblade Turbo on their CAT 3406B engine. These gains not only save money but also reduce environmental impact.

Improved Power and Torque

Switchblade Turbochargers are built to optimize your CAT engine's horsepower and torque, making handling heavy loads or demanding terrain easier. By increasing boost pressure, your engine will perform at its best without straining.

Durability You Can Trust

Our manufacturing process ensures every turbocharger meets or exceeds OEM standards, delivering lasting durability and reliability. Switchblade’s advanced materials and precision engineering mean you can count on your turbo to handle the most challenging jobs.
