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

If you're building a high-performance engine that needs a significant boost in power, a well-built turbocharger like this Turbosmart TS-1 is a critical component. This unit is designed for serious tuners looking to maximize airflow and create substantial horsepower gains. It features a reverse rotation design, which can be beneficial for packaging and plumbing in certain custom setups, and a V-band inlet for a secure and easy connection to your exhaust manifold or adapter.

The TS-1 turbocharger comes with a 1.07 AR (Area/Radius) turbine housing. A larger AR like this generally means better flow at higher RPMs, helping to reduce backpressure and allow the engine to breathe more freely when it's working hard. This specific model is externally wastegated, meaning the wastegate is a separate unit mounted to the turbine housing. This setup offers more precise boost control compared to internal wastegates, allowing for finer tuning and more consistent boost levels. The robust construction means it's built to handle the intense heat and pressure associated with forced induction.

When planning your build, remember that this turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's a powerful piece of equipment intended for off-road or race applications where emissions compliance is not a factor. Ensure you have the supporting modifications, such as fuel system upgrades and proper engine management, to take full advantage of this turbo's capabilities and maintain engine reliability.
