Description
CAT C15 ACERT Ball Bearing High Pressure Turbo
BXS / MXS / NXS | 70MM Upgrade | Factory Location
Upgrade the factory high-pressure turbo on your CAT C15 ACERT with modern Garrett ball bearing technology while retaining the factory compound turbo configuration.
The factory BXS, MXS, and NXS C15 ACERT engines use journal bearing high- and low-pressure turbochargers. While the factory system is proven, the stock high-pressure turbo can become a restriction when you're looking for improved response and additional airflow from the factory compound setup.
The Momentum Worx 70MM Ball Bearing High Pressure Turbo Upgrade takes the proven Garrett Motion GTA4294BRS ball bearing CHRA used on later SDP applications and adapts it to OEM-style ACERT compressor and turbine housings.
The result is a high-performance, factory-location upgrade designed to deliver faster transient response, increased airflow, and stronger high-RPM performance without requiring a complete single-turbo conversion.
Factory Turbo vs. Momentum Worx Ball Bearing Upgrade
| Feature | STOCK | MOMENTUM WORX |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor Inducer | 62MM | 70MM |
| Center Section / CHRA | Journal Bearing | Genuine Garrett Ball Bearing CHRA |
| Compressor Airflow | Factory airflow capacity | Increased compressor airflow |
| Transient Response | Factory journal bearing response | Improved transient response |
| High-RPM Performance | More limited top-end performance | Improved high-RPM and top-end performance |
| Compound Turbo Compatibility | Factory configuration | Retains factory compound turbo configuration |
The larger 70MM compressor provides substantially more airflow capacity than the factory 62MM unit, while the Garrett ball bearing center section reduces friction and improves turbo response.
You get the airflow of a significantly larger compressor without giving up the responsive characteristics you want from the high-pressure turbo in a compound system.
Factory-Location Installation
This turbo uses OEM-style compressor and turbine housings and is designed to install in the factory high-pressure turbo location on BXS, MXS, and NXS CAT C15 ACERT engines.
That means you can upgrade the high-pressure side of the factory compound system without custom turbo mounting.
Important Oil Feed Line Note
The factory high-pressure turbo oil feed line can be reused with this turbo. However, clearance around the heat sink fins on the Garrett ball bearing center section can be tight.
For a cleaner installation with improved clearance, we recommend our Braided Oil Feed Line for CAT C15 ACERT Ball Bearing High Pressure Turbo Upgrade:
The upgraded line is not required to run this turbo, but it eliminates the hassle of working the factory hard line around the ball bearing cartridge and helps clean up the overall installation.

Together, the high- and low-pressure ball bearing upgrades improve the performance potential of the entire ACERT compound turbo system while retaining the factory-style configuration.
Who Is This Turbo For?
This upgrade is built for C15 ACERT owners who want more out of the factory compound turbo system.
It's an excellent choice for builds looking for:
- Increased airflow over the stock high-pressure turbo
- Improved turbo response
- Stronger high-RPM performance
- A genuine Garrett ball bearing center section
- Factory-location installation
- Improved compound turbo performance without converting to a single turbo
If you're looking to push your BXS, MXS, or NXS C15 ACERT beyond the limitations of the factory high-pressure turbo while keeping the compound setup, this is the upgrade built to do it.
