What is the AR ratio of the turbine housing, and why does it matter?

The AR (Area/Radius) ratio of the turbine housing is 1.07. This measurement affects how the turbocharger spools up and performs at higher RPMs. A higher AR like 1.07 generally favors top-end power and can help reduce exhaust backpressure at high flow rates, though it might slightly increase spool time compared to a smaller AR.

What does 'externally wastegated' mean for this turbocharger?

An externally wastegated turbocharger uses a separate wastegate unit that is mounted to the exhaust manifold or a dedicated port on the turbine housing. This setup allows for more precise control over boost pressure compared to an internal wastegate, helping to prevent boost creep and maintain consistent power delivery.

What supporting modifications are typically needed when installing this turbocharger?

Installing a performance turbocharger like the Turbosmart TS-1 usually requires upgrades to the fuel system, engine management (tuning), and exhaust system. An efficient intercooler and oil/coolant lines are also critical for optimal performance and longevity.

Product Details

This is the Turbosmart TS-1 Turbocharger, a robust unit featuring a 7170 size compressor and a 1.07 AR V-band turbine housing. It's built for performance applications where you need a reliable boost source. The external wastegate setup allows for precise boost control, making it a solid choice for tuners and builders looking to manage power output effectively. This turbocharger is designed to handle significant airflow and heat, making it suitable for modified engines that demand more power than stock components can provide.

The TS-1 utilizes a 71mm inducer compressor wheel, known for its ability to move a substantial amount of air, which is crucial for making big power. Paired with the 1.07 AR V-band turbine housing, it offers a good balance between spool response and top-end power delivery for many engine setups. The V-band mounting system for the turbine housing simplifies installation and ensures a secure, leak-free connection compared to traditional bolt-on flanges. Its externally wastegated design means the wastegate is a separate component, allowing for more consistent boost pressure regulation and preventing boost creep, which is essential for engine longevity and predictable performance.

When installing a turbocharger like the TS-1, it's important to ensure your engine's supporting systems are up to the task. This includes proper fuel delivery, engine management tuning, and an adequate cooling system. Because this unit is not CARB approved, it cannot be shipped to California. Always consult with a professional tuner or mechanic to confirm this turbocharger is the right fit for your specific engine build and performance goals.
