Turbosmart Water Cooled 6870 (Kompact) T4 0.82AR Externally Wastegated TS-2 Turbocharger

If you're looking to significantly boost your engine's power output, a well-built turbocharger like this Turbosmart TS-2 6870 is a critical component. This unit is designed for enthusiasts seeking a substantial increase in performance, offering a robust solution for forced induction builds. Its water-cooled design helps manage operating temperatures, which is essential for maintaining durability and consistent performance under demanding conditions.

This turbocharger features a T4 turbine inlet flange and a 0.82 A/R (Area/Radius) ratio housing. The A/R ratio influences how quickly the turbo spools up and its peak performance characteristics; a 0.82 A/R generally offers a good balance between responsiveness and top-end power for many applications. The external wastegate setup allows for precise boost control, preventing over-boosting and ensuring the engine operates within safe parameters. This setup is often preferred for its ability to manage boost more effectively than internal wastegates, especially in high-performance scenarios. The 'Kompact' designation suggests a focus on packaging efficiency, potentially making it easier to fit into various engine bays.

When installing a turbocharger of this caliber, 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 turbocharger is water-cooled, integrating it into your vehicle's coolant lines is a necessary step for optimal operation and longevity. Remember that this turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
