This is the Holset 5456815HX, 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 4309076 and 5457297RX, and catalogs also list it for Cummins 2881997, 2881785, 4955425 and 4956010 and for CPL 2732. 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 AP90960. 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 4309076, also listed as 2881997, 2881785, 4955425 and 4956010 (catalogs list CPL 2732)
• Supplied without the electronic actuator
• Not the same turbo as Holset 5456817HX (Cummins 4309077): 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 5456815HX come with the actuator?

No. It is the short turbo without the electronic actuator. Reuse your old actuator if it has tested good, or fit another one at the same time. Alliant Power AP90960 is the same Cummins number with an actuator.

What is the difference between 5456815HX and 5456817HX?

They are sister turbos for different EPA07 ISX15 builds. 5456815HX replaces Cummins 4309076 and 5457297RX, and 5456817HX replaces Cummins 4309077 and 5457298RX. Match the number on your old turbo, or call 530-668-0818 with your engine serial number.

What numbers does the 5456815HX replace?

Cummins 4309076 and 5457297RX, and it is also listed for Cummins 2881997, 2881785, 4955425 and 4956010. It is remanufactured by Holset, a refundable core applies, and Holset 5456815H is the new version.

Is this an HE561VE or an HE500VG?

Both names are used for it. Holset now calls it the HE500VG, and many catalogs still list the same turbo as the HE561VE. Go by the part number on your old turbo, not the model name.
