What is the benefit of a water-cooled turbocharger?

Water-cooled turbochargers use coolant to help dissipate heat from the bearing housing. This advanced cooling helps reduce operating temperatures, which can lead to a longer turbocharger lifespan and more consistent performance, especially during prolonged high-load operation.

What does the 0.96 A/R ratio mean for performance?

The A/R ratio (Area/Radius) on the compressor side indicates the size and shape of the volute. A 0.96 A/R is a moderate size that aims to provide a good compromise. It allows the turbo to spool up relatively quickly while still supporting strong airflow at higher engine speeds, making it versatile for various performance tuning goals.

What is an externally wastegated turbocharger?

An externally wastegated turbocharger uses a separate wastegate unit that is mounted on the exhaust manifold or turbine housing. This setup allows for more precise control over boost pressure compared to internal wastegates, enabling finer tuning and the potential to achieve higher, more stable boost levels.

Product Details

Turbosmart is well-known for building robust performance parts that stand up to tough conditions. This TS-2 turbocharger is a prime example, designed for enthusiasts looking to significantly boost their engine's power output. It features a water-cooled bearing housing, which helps manage heat and extend the turbo's lifespan, especially under demanding use. The T4 turbine inlet flange and a 0.96 A/R (Area/Radius) ratio on the compressor side are chosen to offer a good balance between quick spool-up and high-end airflow, making it suitable for a wide range of performance builds.

This turbocharger is externally wastegated, meaning the wastegate is a separate unit that controls boost pressure by bypassing exhaust gases around the turbine wheel. This setup offers more precise boost control compared to internal wastegates, allowing for more consistent power delivery and the ability to run higher boost levels safely. The robust construction and advanced cooling system are built to handle the increased temperatures and pressures associated with performance tuning. It's important to note that this turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.

When installing a turbocharger like this, ensure your engine's cooling and oiling systems are in excellent condition. Proper oil flow and drainage are critical for the longevity of the water-cooled bearing system. You'll also need to consider supporting modifications such as an upgraded fuel system, engine management tuning, and potentially exhaust and intake upgrades to take full advantage of the turbocharger's capabilities.
