This is the Holset 5456817HX, a variable geometry turbocharger for the Cummins ISX15 (CM871) at the EPA07 emissions level, remanufactured by Holset (Cummins Turbo Technologies). Holset calls it the HE500VG, and many catalogs still list it as the HE561VE. It replaces Cummins 4309077 and 5457298RX, and catalogs also list it for Cummins 2881998, 2881786, 4955426, 4955903 and 4956011. A refundable core applies.

This is the short turbo: the electronic actuator is not included. Move the actuator over from the old turbo if it has tested good, or fit another one at the same time. The same Cummins number with an actuator is listed as Alliant Power AP90962. The EPA07 ISX15 used several different turbochargers under the same model names, so go by the number on the old turbo, not the year.

Specifications

Fits / Applications

• Cummins ISX15 (CM871), EPA07 emissions level, about 2007 to 2010
• Engines built with Cummins turbo 4309077, also listed as 2881998, 2881786, 4955426, 4955903 and 4956011
• Supplied without the electronic actuator
• Not the same turbo as Holset 5456815HX (Cummins 4309076): match by engine serial number (ESN) and the old turbo’s data plate

The actuator is not included, so plan for it before the truck is apart, and reuse the old one only if it has tested good. Prime the turbo with clean engine oil before the first start, fit new oil feed and drain gaskets, and check the oil feed line, the drain and the charge air cooler for debris from the old turbo.
