What is the main advantage of an externally wastegated turbocharger?

An externally wastegated turbocharger offers more precise control over boost pressure. This is because the wastegate is mounted separately from the turbo housing, allowing it to manage exhaust gas flow more effectively and prevent over-boosting, which is crucial for tuned engines.

What does the '1.00 AR' on the turbine housing refer to?

The '1.00 AR' refers to the Area/Radius ratio of the turbine housing. A larger A/R ratio, like 1.00, generally allows for better exhaust gas flow at higher RPMs, contributing to sustained power delivery, while a smaller A/R would typically improve low-end response.

What supporting modifications are typically needed when installing a performance turbocharger?

When installing a performance turbocharger, it's essential to ensure your fuel system can supply adequate fuel, your engine management system is tuned for the increased airflow, and your exhaust system can handle the higher volume of exhaust gases. Proper cooling and lubrication for the turbocharger are also critical.

Product Details

This is the Turbosmart TS-1 Turbocharger, specifically the 7170 D4 model with a 1.00 AR housing and external wastegate. If you're looking to significantly boost the performance of your vehicle, a well-built turbocharger like this is a fundamental component. It forces more air into your engine, allowing for more fuel to be burned and ultimately generating more power. This particular unit is designed for serious performance builds where precise control over boost pressure is critical, thanks to its externally wastegated design.

The TS-1 7170 D4 features a robust construction aimed at handling the high temperatures and pressures associated with forced induction. The 71mm compressor wheel is paired with a 70mm turbine wheel, offering a balance between airflow capacity and responsiveness for many performance applications. The 1.00 A/R (Area/Radius) ratio on the turbine housing helps to optimize exhaust gas flow, contributing to efficient turbo spool and sustained power delivery. The external wastegate setup allows for more accurate boost control compared to internal wastegates, which is essential for tuning and preventing over-boosting, especially in modified engines. This unit is built to be a durable centerpiece for a high-performance engine build.

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 exhaust system capable of handling the increased flow. Because this turbocharger is not CARB approved, it cannot be shipped to California. Always consult with a professional tuner and mechanic to ensure this turbocharger is correctly integrated into your specific vehicle's setup for optimal performance and reliability.
