Fleece FPE-6.0STREET-0407 Cheetah Turbo - 2004.5-2007 Ford 6.0L Powerstroke

The Fleece Performance FPE-6.0STREET-0407 Cheetah Turbocharger is a stock-appearing upgraded VNT drop-in turbocharger for 2004.5-2007 Ford Super Duty 6.0L Powerstroke trucks. It uses the factory housings with a 63mm FMW compressor wheel and a 66mm Cheetah turbine wheel inside - capable of supporting up to 600 RWHP and handling up to 40 PSI of boost with stock-appearing drop-in fitment. This is a genuine performance upgrade over the OEM VNT unit, not a stock-style replacement.

Specs at a Glance

If your build date and year match, the FPE-6.0STREET-0407 installs as a direct swap. Use the interchange numbers above as a secondary check after confirming the 2004.5-2007 build date.

Why the 2004 Build Date Split Matters

The 6.0L Powerstroke had a mid-year production changeover in 2004. Trucks built before that changeover (early 2004) use a different turbocharger than trucks built after it (2004.5 and later). The part numbers and housings are not the same. Ordering by model year alone on a 2004 truck is how wrong orders happen.

If your truck is a 2004, confirm the build date before ordering. A 2004.5 or later build matches this listing. An early 2004 build requires the FPE-6.0STREET-0304. Use the interchange numbers above as a secondary confirmation once the build date is resolved.

Stock Housing, Upgraded Internals - What That Delivers

The FPE-6.0STREET-0407 looks completely factory from the outside - no aftermarket piping, no custom fabrication, no changes to surrounding components. It installs where the stock turbo came out, using the factory housings. What changes is the internal package: a 63mm FMW compressor wheel, a 66mm Cheetah turbine wheel, upgraded shaft bearings, and 360-degree thrust bearings.

The variable nozzle technology is preserved, which lets the turbo behave like a smaller unit during spool-up for quick low-RPM throttle response, then open up to move significantly more exhaust on the top end. The result is a turbo that spools like stock where it matters for towing and daily driving, while providing more airflow headroom for supporting modifications as the build grows.

Buy the FPE-6.0STREET-0407 when you want real airflow headroom over the OEM VNT unit in a stock-appearing bolt-in. Stay with a standard replacement if factory-style restoration or a lower-cost option is the goal.

• 1 Year Limited Parts Warranty

What the 600 RWHP Rating Means

600 RWHP is the turbo's airflow ceiling with a full supporting build - fueling, tuning, and a complete drivetrain. For a street or towing 6.0L Powerstroke, the practical gains are stronger throttle response, better pull under load, and more airflow headroom for supporting modifications. Most trucks will not approach 600 RWHP on stock fuel and tune - the VNT mechanism keeps low-end spool and daily driving feel intact while the upgraded internals raise the top-end ceiling.

What To Inspect Before Installation

A new turbo installed on a compromised supporting system will fail early. Address these before the swap:

• Oil feed - restricted or contaminated oil supply is a primary cause of early bearing failure
• Oil drain - a restricted drain causes oil to back up into the housing
• Intake side - debris or contamination entering the compressor will damage the wheel
• Charge-air plumbing - loose boots or clamps create boost leaks that mask performance
• VNT operation - stuck vanes and exhaust leaks carry over after the swap

Avoid These Common Mistakes

• Ordering for an early 2004 build. The 6.0L Powerstroke had a mid-year changeover in 2004. This turbo fits 2004.5 and later. Early 2004 trucks require the FPE-6.0STREET-0304. Verify your build date before ordering.
• Matching by OEM part number alone without confirming build date. Some OEM numbers crossed over between early and late 2004 production. Confirm the 2004.5 or later build date as your primary fitment check first, then use interchange numbers as secondary confirmation.
• Treating 600 RWHP as a plug-and-play result. That is the capability ceiling with a full supporting build. The immediate real-world benefit is stronger spool, better throttle response, and more airflow headroom for supporting modifications.
• Installing on a compromised oil system. Check oil feed and drain condition before installation.

Fitment Coverage

• 2004.5 Ford Super Duty F-250 / F-350 / F-450 6.0L Powerstroke
• 2005 Ford Super Duty F-250 / F-350 / F-450 6.0L Powerstroke
• 2006 Ford Super Duty F-250 / F-350 / F-450 6.0L Powerstroke
• 2007 Ford Super Duty F-250 / F-350 / F-450 6.0L Powerstroke

This turbo does not fit early 2004 6.0L Powerstroke trucks. If your truck is an early 2004 build, the correct Cheetah is the FPE-6.0STREET-0304.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

If your current 2004.5-2007 6.0L Powerstroke turbo carries any of these numbers, the FPE-6.0STREET-0407 is the confirmed upgraded drop-in replacement:

Confirm the 2004.5-2007 build date as the primary fitment check. Use these numbers as secondary verification only.

Before You Order

• Truck is a confirmed 2004.5-2007 Ford Super Duty 6.0L Powerstroke - not an early 2004 build
• Fitment confirmed by build date, not by housing appearance or partial number alone
• Ship-to address is outside California and Colorado
• Oil feed, oil drain, and intake are in good condition

If these checks match, the FPE-6.0STREET-0407 is the correct Cheetah turbo for a 2004.5-2007 Ford Super Duty 6.0L Powerstroke when you want a stock-appearing VNT upgrade with real airflow headroom over the factory unit.
