How It Works
The Aurora Series, Explained
ATS turbos are numbered by capability. The bigger the number, the bigger the compressor wheel and the more power it supports. "VFR" and "VNT" mean it's a drop-in factory replacement; "Plus" and "Compound" mean a twin-turbo system.
VFR / VNT
Variable Factory Replacement — a drop-in variable-geometry turbo that keeps every factory function (exhaust brake, quick spool, warm-up). Stage 1 needs no tuning.
Aurora 3000
Stage 1. Mild, responsive, stock-to-tow power. The go-to daily-driver and towing upgrade.
Aurora 4000
Stage 2. A larger compressor wheel for more top-end power while staying street- and tow-friendly.
Aurora 5000
A big single (5.9L) for high-horsepower racing and competition — not a towing turbo.
Aurora 6000 / 7500
Large atmospheric / low-pressure turbos used as the second stage in compound systems.
Aurora Plus / Compound
Twin-turbo systems pairing a small high-pressure turbo with a large one — quick spool AND massive top-end.
Aurora CVNT
The newest tech: a Cannon Vector Nozzle turbine with a fully hydraulic vane pack — lower back pressure, faster spool, no electronic actuator to fail.

Still Not Sure?
Daily Driving & Towing
Want a reliable factory-replacement that keeps your exhaust brake and quick spool? Go with a single VFR / VNT drop-in.
- Aurora 3000 — stock-to-tow, no tuning needed
- Aurora 4000 — more power, still tow-friendly
- CVNT — newest tech, best efficiency (6.7L Cummins)
Big Power & Racing
Chasing 750–900hp+ while still being able to tow and street drive? A compound system gives you quick spool and huge top-end.
- Aurora Plus / Vortex — quick-spool compound
- Aurora Compound 3000-or-4000 / 6000 — 750–900hp
- Aurora 5000 single — race-only big single (5.9L)
The rule of thumb: match the turbo to how you actually use the truck. Daily drive and tow? A single VFR keeps it simple and reliable. Building big power but still want street manners? Compound. Pure race? A big single. When in doubt, call the ATS team and we'll spec it for your exact setup.
