What is the benefit of a water-cooled turbocharger?

Water cooling helps to dissipate heat from the turbocharger's center housing, especially under heavy load. This can lead to improved durability and more consistent performance by preventing excessive heat buildup.

What does the '1.07 AR' on the turbine housing mean?

AR stands for Area Ratio, and 1.07 is a measure of the turbine housing's size and shape. A higher AR like 1.07 generally favors top-end power and airflow at higher RPMs, compared to smaller AR housings.

What supporting modifications are typically needed for a turbocharger like this?

Installing a turbocharger of this size usually requires a compatible exhaust manifold, downpipe, intake piping, intercooler, fuel injectors, fuel pump, and an engine management system for tuning. It's essential to ensure all components can handle the increased airflow and power.

Product Details

Turbosmart is well-known for its robust and reliable boost control solutions, and their TS-2 turbocharger continues that tradition. This unit is built for serious performance applications, featuring a water-cooled center housing to help manage heat during demanding use. The V-band inlet and outlet make for a clean and secure connection, simplifying installation compared to traditional flanged setups. With a 1.07 A/R ratio on the turbine housing, this turbo is designed to provide strong mid-range and top-end power, making it a solid choice for builds aiming for significant airflow and boost.

The externally wastegated design offers precise boost control, allowing you to fine-tune your engine's performance and prevent overboosting. This is crucial for protecting your engine and maximizing power output. The 7170 designation refers to the compressor wheel size, indicating a capable unit for moving a substantial amount of air. This turbocharger is a significant upgrade for any performance-minded individual looking to increase their vehicle's horsepower and torque.

When considering a turbocharger of this caliber, it's important to ensure your entire induction and fuel system can support its airflow demands. This includes proper exhaust manifold design, intake piping, intercooling, and fuel delivery. Because this turbocharger is not CARB approved, it cannot be legally shipped to California. Always consult with a professional or refer to the manufacturer's detailed installation guide for specific fitment and supporting modifications required for your application.
