What is the benefit of an externally wastegated turbocharger?

An externally wastegated turbocharger separates the wastegate from the turbine housing. This setup allows for more precise boost control and helps prevent exhaust backpressure from negatively impacting turbine efficiency, leading to more consistent power delivery.

Why is the turbine housing AR important?

The 'AR' (Area-to-Radius) ratio of the turbine housing affects how quickly the turbocharger spools up and its top-end power potential. A lower AR, like 0.96, generally leads to quicker spooling, while a higher AR typically allows for more airflow at higher RPMs.

What supporting modifications are typically needed for a turbocharger like this?

Installing a turbocharger often requires supporting modifications to ensure proper function and engine health. This can include an upgraded fuel system, an intercooler for charge air cooling, and custom engine tuning to manage boost and air-fuel ratios.

Product Details

The 0.96 AR turbine housing on this Turbosmart TS-1 turbocharger is a key detail, offering a balance between quick spool-up and high-end power for many performance applications. This particular unit features a reverse rotation design, which can be crucial for twin-turbo setups or specific engine bay configurations where exhaust flow direction needs to be managed carefully. Its V-band inlet simplifies installation and ensures a solid seal compared to traditional flange connections.

Built for demanding use, this turbocharger incorporates an externally wastegated design. This means the wastegate is separate from the turbine housing, allowing for more precise boost control and better management of exhaust gas flow. This separation helps prevent exhaust backpressure from interfering with turbine efficiency, leading to more consistent and predictable boost levels. The TS-1 designation signifies a well-built unit from Turbosmart, known for their focus on performance and durability in forced induction components.

When considering a turbocharger of this caliber, it's important to note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Proper supporting modifications, such as an upgraded fuel system, intercooler, and tuning, are essential for optimal performance and engine longevity when installing a turbocharger like this. Always consult with a professional or refer to the manufacturer's installation guidelines for specific requirements related to your vehicle and build.
