BD Diesel Elbow Orifice – 1994-2002 Dodge w/HX35 Turbos
The BD Diesel Elbow Orifice installs at the compressor outlet on 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with 5.9L Cummins diesel engines and HX35 turbochargers. This brass restrictor meters airflow to support BD exhaust brake operation by limiting boost pressure to 25 PSI. It delivers consistent engine braking power and prevents boost spikes during downhill descents for safer control.
