What is the benefit of a ball-bearing center housing?

A ball-bearing center housing reduces friction within the turbocharger. This allows the turbo to spin up faster, leading to improved spool response and a broader powerband compared to traditional journal bearing turbos.

What does the V-band inlet on the turbine housing do?

The V-band inlet provides a secure and leak-free connection for the turbine housing. It simplifies the installation process compared to traditional flanged connections and ensures a robust seal under high exhaust pressures.

What supporting modifications might be needed with this turbo kit?

Installing a turbocharger often requires supporting modifications to ensure optimal performance and reliability. This can include upgrades to the fuel system, engine management (ECU tuning), and cooling systems. It is recommended to consult with a professional installer or the manufacturer's documentation.

Product Details

The HKS GT4950-BB turbocharger features a 0.75 A/R housing with a V-band inlet, a design choice that helps manage exhaust gas flow efficiently for improved turbo spool and response. This particular kit is built around that core component, offering a comprehensive package for enthusiasts looking to significantly boost their vehicle's power output. HKS has a long-standing reputation for producing well-built forced induction components, and this turbo kit is no exception, aiming to provide a noticeable increase in horsepower and torque.

This kit is designed to integrate the GT4950-BB turbocharger into your engine setup. The ball-bearing center housing is a key feature, reducing friction and allowing the turbo to spin up faster compared to traditional journal bearing turbos. This translates to less lag and a broader powerband, making the power delivery feel more immediate and usable. The V-band connection on the turbine housing simplifies installation and ensures a secure, leak-free seal compared to traditional flange and bolt setups. While this kit is a significant upgrade, remember that installing a turbocharger often requires supporting modifications to fuel systems, engine management, and cooling to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

When considering a turbo kit of this caliber, it's important to plan for the entire system. This HKS kit is a substantial piece of hardware designed for performance applications. Due to its nature, it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult with a professional installer or refer to the manufacturer's detailed installation guide to ensure all necessary supporting modifications and procedures are followed for a successful build.
