Holset Cheetah Sleeper Turbo
Looking for the ultimate Work Stock or sleeper turbo for your Dodge? Fleece Performance’s 63mm fixed-geometry Holset Cheetah utilizes the factory compressor and turbine housings of the Holset HE351 but outfits them with a 63mm compressor wheel (inducer), a 66mm turbine wheel (exducer), and an upgraded wastegate (3 mm larger). According to Fleece, its charger can support up to 650 rwhp, handle 45 psi of boost, and provide a 500-degree reduction in EGT on heavily fueled, stock-turbo’d trucks. Units can be built to fit ’94 to ’11 Rams, and a VGT version is also available.

HID Headlights
Just as incandescent headlights gave way to halogen, halogen is now giving way to HID, and PPE makes that transition easy with its new HID headlight kit. Its kit makes your truck’s headlights three times brighter than the factory halogen units, all while lasting up to 4,000 hours, which is 10 times longer. PPE’s HID kit requires no splicing or cutting of wires, simply plugs into place, and can be installed in about 15 minutes. In addition, the kit is waterproof, shockproof, heat-resistant, and comes with a 1-year warranty.
