What does 'reverse rotation' mean for a turbocharger?

Reverse rotation means the turbocharger's compressor and turbine wheels spin in the opposite direction of a standard turbo. This is often used in custom applications to help with packaging, exhaust manifold routing, or intake plumbing in tight engine bays.

What is the benefit of a V-band turbine housing?

V-band housings use a clamp system to connect the housing to the turbo's center section. This makes installation and alignment easier than traditional bolted flanges, and it can create a more robust and leak-free seal.

What is an 'A/R' ratio on a turbocharger?

The A/R ratio (Area/Radius) refers to the size and shape of the turbocharger's turbine housing. A higher A/R ratio, like the 1.07 on this turbo, generally means a larger housing that flows more exhaust gas, which can help produce more power at higher RPMs, though it might slightly delay spool-up compared to a smaller A/R.

Product Details

Turbosmart is well-known for making robust performance parts for a wide range of vehicles. This TS-1 turbocharger is a prime example of their commitment to quality and power. It features a 71mm compressor wheel and a 1.07 A/R turbine housing, designed for external wastegate use. This setup is built for reverse rotation, offering a unique option for custom builds where space or plumbing dictates a specific airflow direction.

The V-band mounting on the turbine housing makes installation and alignment simpler compared to traditional flange setups. This allows for a more secure and leak-free connection. The 1.07 A/R ratio on the turbine side is chosen to balance quick spool-up with high-end power delivery, making it suitable for applications seeking improved performance across the RPM range. This turbocharger is intended for custom applications where precise control over boost pressure is desired, utilizing an external wastegate for optimal regulation.

When planning your build with this turbocharger, consider that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's important to consult with your engine builder or a performance specialist to ensure this turbocharger is the right fit for your specific engine and performance goals. Proper supporting modifications and tuning will be essential to realize its full potential.
