What is the advantage of a reverse rotation turbocharger?

A reverse rotation turbocharger offers more flexibility in plumbing and intake manifold routing. This can be particularly helpful in custom builds or tight engine bays where standard rotation might create clearance issues or require more complex intake piping.

What does the '0.82 A/R' specification mean for the turbine housing?

The A/R (Area/Radius) ratio of the turbine housing affects how quickly the turbocharger spools up and its efficiency at higher RPMs. A 0.82 A/R generally provides a good balance, allowing the turbo to build boost relatively quickly while still supporting strong airflow at higher engine speeds.

What is the purpose of an externally wastegated turbocharger?

An externally wastegated turbocharger uses a separate wastegate actuator that is plumbed to the exhaust manifold. This setup allows for more precise control over boost pressure compared to an internal wastegate, helping to prevent over-boosting and maintain consistent power delivery.

Product Details

If you're building a high-performance engine and looking to significantly increase power output, a well-chosen turbocharger is key. The Turbosmart TS-1 7170 turbocharger is a robust option designed for serious power gains. This unit features a T4 turbine inlet flange and a 0.82 A/R housing, which balances quick spool-up with high-end airflow for a broad powerband. Its reverse rotation design offers unique plumbing flexibility, often useful in custom applications where space is tight or specific intake routing is needed.

Built with durability in mind, the TS-1 7170 uses a robust bearing system to handle the high temperatures and pressures associated with turbocharging. The externally wastegated design allows for precise boost control, preventing over-boosting and ensuring consistent power delivery. This setup is ideal for tuners and builders who want to fine-tune their engine's performance and extract maximum potential. The 71mm compressor wheel and 70mm turbine wheel combination is a popular choice for many performance builds, offering a good compromise between responsiveness and peak power.

This turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Proper installation and tuning are critical for optimal performance and longevity. Ensure you have the necessary supporting modifications and a capable engine management system to take full advantage of this turbocharger's capabilities. Consult with a professional tuner to dial in your setup for the best results.
