The Ford Bronco Raptor is one of the most capable off-road performance vehicles on the market, but enthusiasts continue to push the platform even further. Equipped with Ford’s twin-turbocharged 3.0L EcoBoost® engine, the Bronco Raptor provides an excellent foundation for performance upgrades.

To demonstrate the capability of Garrett’s PowerMax™ direct-fit turbocharger upgrade, Full-Race Motorsports tested a Bronco Raptor equipped with Garrett PowerMax™ turbochargers, a Nostrum high-pressure fuel pump kit, and custom tuning. The results were impressive: 568 wheel horsepower and 591 wheel torque on E50 fuel, representing gains of 233 WHP and 174 WTQ over stock.

The Build and Direct-Fit Upgrade Advantage

As the original equipment turbocharger supplier for the Bronco Raptor’s 3.0L EcoBoost engine, Garrett engineered the PowerMax™ upgrade specifically for this application. The complete turbocharger package includes left and right turbocharger assemblies with calibrated electronic actuators for seamless integration while maintaining OEM-style fitment and drivability. Compared to the factory turbochargers, the Garrett PowerMax™ upgrade delivers increased airflow capability through larger compressor technology and improved overall efficiency.

Dyno Results and Performance Gains

To validate the capabilities of the Garrett PowerMax™ turbocharger upgrade, Full-Race Motorsports conducted dyno testing on a Ford Bronco Raptor equipped with Garrett PowerMax™ turbochargers, a Nostrum high-pressure fuel pump kit, and custom tuning.

The results demonstrated substantial gains over the stock turbocharger system:

• 568 WHP
• 591 WTQ
• +233 WHP over stock
• +174 WTQ over stock

These results highlight the significant performance potential available from the Bronco Raptor’s 3.0L EcoBoost engine when paired with Garrett PowerMax™ turbochargers and the appropriate supporting modifications. Dyno testing and performance results courtesy of Full-Race Motorsports.
