What is the purpose of water cooling on a turbocharger?

Water cooling helps to dissipate heat generated by the turbocharger during operation. This can lead to a longer turbo lifespan and more consistent performance, especially under demanding conditions.

What does the 0.82 A/R ratio mean for performance?

The A/R ratio of the turbine housing affects how quickly the turbocharger spools up and its flow capacity at higher RPMs. A 0.82 A/R generally offers a good balance, providing relatively quick response while still allowing for significant airflow at higher engine speeds.

Why is this turbocharger not CARB approved?

This turbocharger is not CARB (California Air Resources Board) approved, meaning it does not meet California's emissions standards. As a result, it cannot be legally sold or shipped to California for use on vehicles registered in that state.

Product Details

When you're building a high-performance engine and looking to significantly increase power output, a turbocharger is a key component. This Turbosmart TS-2 turbocharger is a water-cooled unit designed for serious performance applications. It features a T4 turbine inlet flange and a 0.82 A/R (Area/Radius) ratio housing, which balances quick spool-up with high-end flow for a broad powerband. The reverse rotation design is often used in twin-turbo setups to optimize plumbing and airflow.

This turbocharger is built with robust materials to handle the extreme temperatures and pressures associated with forced induction. The water-cooling system helps manage heat, extending the turbo's lifespan and maintaining consistent performance under load. Its Kompact design suggests a focus on efficient packaging, which can be crucial for fitting into various engine bays. The integrated external wastegate port allows for precise boost control, ensuring your engine operates within safe parameters while maximizing power delivery.

For installation, you'll want to ensure you have all the necessary supporting components, including proper oil and water lines, exhaust manifold, and intake plumbing. Because this turbocharger is not CARB approved, it cannot be legally shipped to California. Always consult your engine builder or a professional mechanic to confirm this turbocharger meets the specific requirements of your build and local emissions regulations.
