What does 'reverse rotation' mean for a turbocharger?

Reverse rotation means the compressor wheel spins counter-clockwise. This is a specific design choice that can be necessary for certain engine bay layouts or plumbing configurations where a standard clockwise-spinning turbo wouldn't fit or route correctly.

What is the benefit of a V-band housing?

V-band housings use a clamp system to secure the turbine housing to the exhaust manifold. This offers a more compact and often more reliable connection than traditional bolt-on flanges, making installation and removal simpler and reducing the risk of exhaust leaks.

What is the advantage of an externally wastegated turbo?

An externally wastegated turbocharger uses a separate wastegate actuator that controls boost pressure by diverting exhaust gas around the turbine wheel. This setup generally offers more precise boost control and can handle higher boost levels more effectively than internal wastegates.

Product Details

This is the Turbosmart TS-1 turbocharger, featuring a 71mm compressor wheel and a 0.96 AR V-band turbine housing. It's designed for reverse rotation applications, meaning the compressor spins counter-clockwise, which can be crucial for specific engine bay layouts and plumbing. This unit is externally wastegated, giving you precise control over boost pressure by allowing excess exhaust gas to bypass the turbine wheel. The V-band housing makes for a cleaner, more secure connection compared to traditional flanged setups, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Built with robust materials, this turbocharger is intended for serious performance builds where reliability and consistent boost are paramount. The 71mm compressor offers a good balance for a range of applications, providing significant airflow without excessive lag. The 0.96 AR turbine housing is a common choice for applications needing a good blend of low-end response and top-end power, suitable for many modified four-cylinder and some six-cylinder engines. Its reverse rotation design is a unique feature that addresses specific packaging challenges found in some performance vehicles.

When installing this turbocharger, pay close attention to oil and coolant line routing to ensure proper lubrication and cooling, which are vital for turbo longevity. Because this unit is not CARB approved, it cannot be shipped to California. Always consult your vehicle's specific service manual and the manufacturer's installation guide for detailed procedures and recommended components to ensure a safe and effective installation.
