About Forced Performance

Out of Van Alstyne, Texas, Forced Performance has spent nearly three decades doing one thing exceptionally well: building race-proven turbochargers that deliver real-world power for both dedicated motorsport competitors and street performance enthusiasts. Founded in 1997, the company has grown into one of the most respected names in the forced-induction world, earning its reputation not through marketing hype, but through consistent engineering and on-track results.

Forced Performance's identity is rooted in the sport compact performance community. Their product lineup is purpose-built around popular turbocharged platforms — most notably the Subaru WRX and WRX STI, and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution series — vehicles where extracting additional power from a factory turbo setup is both an art and a science. Whether a builder is chasing a modest street bump in output or pushing toward the upper limits of what a platform can support, Forced Performance has engineered a solution to match.

Turbochargers Built for Every Power Level

The heart of the Forced Performance catalog is its extensive lineup of turbochargers, spanning small, medium, and large frame configurations. Named with color-coded designations — Green, Blue, Black, and more — each turbo in the FP lineup is sized and tuned to target a specific power band, making it straightforward for builders to match hardware to goals. The FP Green and FP Blue, for instance, are widely regarded as strong street-and-track options for Subaru STI owners looking for a reliable power upgrade, while larger units in the race lineup are engineered for all-out competition builds where flow capacity and spool characteristics are paramount.

Beyond complete turbocharger assemblies, Forced Performance also stocks turbocharger cartridges — the CHRA (Center Housing Rotating Assembly) at the mechanical core of any turbocharger. These cartridges are invaluable for builders who need to rebuild or upgrade an existing turbo housing without replacing the entire unit, and Forced Performance carries factory-specification cartridges for platforms like the Mitsubishi Evo to keep OEM-based builds running right.

Race Heritage, Real-World Application

What sets Forced Performance apart is that their products aren't developed in isolation from competition — they're refined by it. The company's deep roots in rally and road racing have shaped the design priorities of every unit they produce: reliable spool, durable internals, and predictable power delivery under sustained boost. For enthusiasts who want performance hardware with genuine motorsport DNA, Forced Performance represents a direct connection between the race paddock and the build garage.
