The 6.0L Ford Powerstroke Engine has been around since the late 2003’s. And Choate Engineering Performance has been working on them shortly since they came out of warrany. It came about because of a change in emissions from the EPA. The 7.3L Ford Powerstroke was known and loved by  many since 1994.5. Now it was on its way out. This engine was the staple of the F-250-F550 Ford pickup truck line. It truly was the only engine that deserved to stand against the Cummins 5.9L Dodge Ram engine that was introduced in 89′. But the glory days of the old diesels were making their way out and many changes were coming for the new emission standards. The 6.0L Powerstroke Engine was going to be going head to head with the new kid on the block that was showing promise, GM Duramax 6.6L Diesel Engine and the all new fuel design of the 5.9L Cummins Diesel common rail system. Ford is normally the first on the market in the diesel engine platform. Whether you are a Ford fan or not, that’s the truth.

The 6.0 l Powerstroke Diesel Engine was going to get a major upgrade in driveability and performance! This all new turbocharger would change drastically from the GTP38 to the GT3782VA. This would bring with it the variable vane turbocharger or variable geometry turbo aka VGT or VNT. This would allow spooling time to decrease and acceleration to  increase. Also, this would make the signature “whistle” the 6.0L is know for and that would be a fan favorite.
