Turbosmart 6870B V-Band 1.07AR Externally Wastegated TS-1 Turbocharger

Turbosmart is well-known for making high-performance engine components, and their TS-1 turbocharger is a prime example of their commitment to power and reliability. This particular unit, the 6870B model, is built around a V-band housing with a 1.07 A/R ratio, making it a solid choice for those looking to significantly increase their vehicle's power output. The external wastegate setup allows for precise boost control, which is crucial for maintaining engine health and maximizing performance under demanding conditions.

The 1.07 A/R (Area/Radius) ratio on the turbine housing is designed to help the turbo spool up effectively while still supporting high-end power. This balance is key for a turbocharger that needs to perform across a wide RPM range. The V-band connection for the turbine housing offers a more secure and leak-free seal compared to traditional bolt-on flanges, which is important for maintaining consistent boost pressure and exhaust flow. This turbocharger is intended for custom builds where precise control and robust construction are paramount.

When installing a turbocharger like this, it's important to ensure your entire fuel and engine management system is up to the task. This includes proper oil and coolant lines for lubrication and temperature regulation, as well as an exhaust system and intake plumbing that can handle the increased airflow. Because this unit is not CARB approved, it cannot be shipped to California. Always consult with a professional installer or refer to the manufacturer's detailed installation guide for specific requirements and recommendations.
