Turbochargers

Maximizing the amount of air and fuel your engine burns is one of the best ways to gain extra horsepower. You can do this either by adding extra cylinders to your engine or by equipping it with a turbocharger. And while the first method does help squeeze extra ponies out of your engine, a turbocharger is considered a more cost-effective and easier upgrade. A turbocharger is basically a force-induction device that compresses air and forces it to the engine. As a result, more air is squeezed into the cylinders. This in its turn means that more fuel will be added, and the combustion will be stronger. A turbocharger is not powered by the engine and can make about 150,000 rotations per minute, which is about three times more than an engine-driven supercharger.

A turbocharger is attached to the intake manifold and consists of two main components: a turbine and a compressor which are connected with a steel shaft. The turbine is composed of a housing that guides the wasted exhaust gases to the turbine blades. As the air enters the blades, they start spinning causing the compressor to spin with it. This spinning draws in large masses of air and compresses them. The compressor housing turns low-pressure air into high-pressure air which is then pushed to the engine. But since the turbocharger draws energy from exhaust gases, the temperatures inside are very high. Warmer air is not as dense as cold one, so turbos are usually used with an intercooler that reduces the temperature of the compressed air.

On our virtual shelves, you'll find a comprehensive selection of premium turbochargers from the most reliable manufacturers in the industry, including aFe, Dinan, Industrial Injection, and many more. Whether you just want a single turbocharger, a twin-scroll turbo or any other turbo type, we have it all. Single turbochargers are the simplest yet still the most common type of turbos. However, they can have completely different torque characteristics depending on the size. Larger turbochargers deliver more top-end power while smaller turbos ensure higher levels of low-end power. Twin-scroll turbochargers maximize the strength of the flow since they are designed to gather wasted exhaust gases from pairs of cylinders in an alternating sequence. But no matter which turbocharger you choose, be sure it will offer exceptional performance for years to come. You will not only get more power from the same sized engine but will also benefit from improved torque and fuel economy.
