Turbo Compressor Covers
The turbo compressor cover, also called the compressor housing, is the snail-shaped aluminum casting that surrounds the compressor wheel and directs compressed intake air to the engine's throttle body or intercooler. Upgrading or replacing the compressor cover affects the flow capacity of the turbocharger and is a key component in turbocharger rebuilds and stage upgrades. Popular Turbo Compressor Cover Options Larger compressor cover A/R ratios support higher airflow targets at the cost of slower low-RPM spool. Smaller A/R compressor covers spool faster and are better suited to street-driven applications where low-end response is a priority. Ported or map-width-enhanced compressor covers extend the usable compressor map range and reduce surge at low mass flow conditions, making them popular on applications with large intercoolers or tight boost controller setups. When does a compressor cover need replacement? Compressor cover replacement is needed when the housing bore shows scoring...
