Turbosmart 6466 T3 0.82AR Externally Wastegated TS-1 Turbocharger

If you're building a custom performance engine and need a robust turbocharger to handle the demands of significant boost, this Turbosmart TS-1 turbocharger is a strong contender. It's designed for applications where you're looking to significantly increase horsepower and torque beyond what naturally aspirated engines can produce. This unit features a T3 turbine housing with a 0.82 A/R ratio, which is a good balance for spool-up speed and top-end power on many performance engine setups. The external wastegate mounting is a key feature, allowing for precise boost control and preventing over-boosting, which is crucial for engine longevity and consistent performance.

The TS-1 series from Turbosmart is built with durability and performance in mind. This particular model uses a 64mm compressor wheel and a 66mm turbine wheel, a common and effective sizing for many performance builds aiming for a broad powerband. The compressor housing is designed to efficiently move a large volume of air, while the turbine housing's 0.82 A/R helps to keep the turbo spooled up effectively, especially in the mid-range of the RPM band. The robust construction means it's ready to handle the high temperatures and pressures associated with forced induction, making it a reliable choice for serious engine builds.

When planning your installation, remember that this turbocharger is designed for custom applications, meaning you'll need to ensure proper exhaust manifold fitment for the T3 flange and integrate an external wastegate. You'll also need to consider supporting modifications like fuel system upgrades, intercooling, and engine tuning to take full advantage of its capabilities and ensure your engine runs safely and efficiently. This turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
