Turbosmart TS-1-8280C-VR096E Performance Turbocharger 8280 V-Band Reverse Rotation 0.96 A/R Externally Wastegated

The Turbosmart TS-1-8280C-VR096E is a high-performance, oil-cooled turbocharger from the TS-1 series, featuring an 82mm compressor inducer and 80mm turbine exducer in a reverse-rotation V-Band configuration with a 0.96 A/R turbine housing and external wastegate outlet. Rated for 1,225–1,445 horsepower, this turbo is engineered for serious motorsport and high-power street builds demanding fast spool-up, durability, and top-end flow.

The TS-1 series is built around a proprietary dual ceramic bearing system and ultra-low rotating mass shaft assembly, delivering exceptional transient response and performance at lower shaft speeds. The 82mm compressor wheel uses aggressive 7+7 split blade aerodynamics machined from 2618 aluminum, while the turbine wheel is cast from 713C Inconel for resistance to extreme exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs). The turbine housing is constructed from lightweight 310 stainless steel investment casting, and the compressor cover is machined aluminum — both optimized through CFD analysis for ideal flow characteristics at this A/R.
