Customer Feedback:
I love the ATS Aurora 5000. It's a solid, well-built turbo that appears to be and feels bulletproof. It sounds great, feels great and spools awesome!!! The turbo is a little laggy on the bottom end with stock fuel but not bad at all. The mid-range and top-end are amazing!!! This turbo really woke my truck up. ATS doesn't advertise the turbo for towing but it tows great with it. With my gearing and wheel/tire combo it does not like 6th gear at low RPMs. It will sometimes surge if you let the RPMs get too low (1100 or so) and then step on it without downshifting. I prefer not to use 6th gear anyways unless I'm on flat ground and traveling 75+ MPH (where it runs great) so no worries there. I tested the turbo with both 1.0 AR and .85 AR housings. I think the 1.0 AR may have provided the best power on the top end but the .85 AR feels the best as a daily driver so I decided to stick with it. The only downfall to a huge turbo like this is you're producing so much boost as a result of all the air you are providing to the intercooler BUT when you abruptly lift the throttle the turbo will often bark as all that air/boost has no were to go. I plan to ad a BOV so when I lift the throttle the gate can open and let the unneeded boost escape. EGTS: This turbo really makes its money in the EGT department!!! Cruising around town or on the highway I normally see 800-950º BUT when I stomp on it the EGTs almost instantly drop to 600-700º most of the time. It's crazy to me to see numbers this low after running so hot with other setups in the past. I have never, not even once hit my defuel of 1450º (pre-turbo in the manifold at the collector). I have two EGT probes and monitor with both the H&S Mini Maxx and the Snow Performance Module (each have their own probe). BOOST: I see lower boost numbers at low RPMs lugging around town BUT when you get on it she's a monster. It's much more powerful with less pressure on the accelerator and it breaks the tires free very easily when the turbo lights. I have seen boost numbers of 47-48 psi in Colorado at 6,500 ft elevation on the WILD setting running .29 tune and 56-57 psi in Georgia at 482 ft elevation on the HOT setting running .30 tune (Both times running the H&S trans tuning). All of this was on stock CP3 and stock injectors.

Heres some stats from my recent towing experience from CO to MD then from MD to GA. I was towing a 6,000 trailer with 1,000 lbs in the bed under the tonneau cover. I just made notes randomly as I was driving on my iPhone. I have 37” tires and 3.73 gears running MM with HD ATT .29 and OD trans tuning:

Through the hills of Colorado: 15-18 psi of Boost. Rail Pressure 20.5 - 21 ksi. Trans Temp 168. EGTs 890-940. 1900 RPM at 78 MPH. 12.2 MPG on the EVIC. Flat land across Kansas: 12 psi of Boost. Rail Pressure 20.5 ksi. Trans Temp 170. EGTs 850º. 2000 RPM at 81 MPH. 12.0 MPG on the EVIC. Through Illinois: 8 psi of Boost. Rail Pressure 15-16 ksi. Trans Temp 165º. EGT 890º - 950º. 1600 RPM at 78 MPH. 13.4 MPG on the EVIC. Hand Calculated MPG was 13.7 - 14.4 consistently throughout the whole 2,300 mile trip.
