Turbosmart TS-2 Supercore Turbocharger (Water Cooled) 5862B

Turbosmart is well-known for making serious performance parts for race cars and high-performance street machines. This TS-2 Supercore Turbocharger is a prime example of their commitment to pushing the limits. It's a water-cooled unit designed to be the heart of a custom turbo system, giving you the flexibility to build exactly what you need for your project. This isn't an off-the-shelf bolt-on; it's a component for someone who knows what they want and how to build it.

The TS-2 Supercore features a 58mm compressor wheel and a 62mm turbine wheel, a combination that offers a good balance for many applications, providing a strong surge of power without excessive lag. The water-cooling aspect is crucial for managing the extreme temperatures generated by a turbocharger, especially under sustained high boost. This helps to keep the turbo running cooler, which can improve its longevity and consistency. The supercore design means you get the core assembly – the compressor and turbine housings with the rotating assembly inside – allowing you to pair it with custom exhaust manifolds and intake plumbing to perfectly suit your engine and desired power output. This approach gives you a level of control over your build that pre-assembled turbo kits often can't match.

When building a custom turbo system around a component like this, careful planning is essential. You'll need to source or fabricate the appropriate exhaust manifold, intake piping, intercooler setup, and oil and water lines. Because this is a supercore, it's designed for experienced builders and tuners who understand the intricacies of turbocharging. It's important to note that this turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult with a professional tuner to ensure proper setup and calibration for your specific engine to maximize performance and reliability.
