Turbosmart 6870C V-Band 0.96AR Externally Wastegated C-Frame TS-1 Turbocharger

This is the Turbosmart TS-1 Turbocharger, a robust C-frame unit featuring a V-band inlet and an external wastegate setup. It's built with a 0.96 A/R turbine housing, making it a solid choice for builds looking to improve airflow and boost response over stock turbochargers. The C-frame design is known for its strength and reliability, providing a stable platform for the turbine and compressor wheels.

The V-band connection on the turbine housing simplifies installation and ensures a secure, leak-free seal compared to traditional flanged setups. This turbocharger is externally wastegated, which gives you more precise control over boost pressure. This means you can set your desired boost level and the wastegate will manage exhaust flow to maintain it, preventing over-boosting and protecting your engine. The 0.96 A/R ratio on the turbine housing is a good balance for many performance applications, offering improved top-end power while still providing reasonable spool characteristics. It’s designed to handle significant airflow, making it suitable for modified engines that require more boost than a factory turbo can provide.

When considering this turbocharger, remember it's not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's a serious piece of hardware intended for performance builds where enhanced power and airflow are the primary goals. Ensure your engine management system is properly tuned to take full advantage of the increased airflow and boost capabilities this turbo offers. Proper oil and coolant lines are essential for its longevity and performance.
