Turbosmart 8280 V-Band 0.96AR External Wastegate TS-1 Turbocharger

This Turbosmart TS-1 8280 turbocharger delivers 900-1400 horsepower for high performance engines in drag racing and motorsport builds. The universal design fits custom setups with V-band housings for fast changes and a ported shroud optimized for external wastegates. Dual ball bearings ensure quick spool and reliability under extreme conditions.

Key Features

  • Dual Ceramic Ball Bearings: Reduces friction for faster spool-up and supports high shaft speeds over 200000 RPM
  • Billet Compressor Wheel: 82mm inducer 80.1mm exducer with 86 trim and 0.82 A/R housing moves massive airflow efficiently
  • Inconel Turbine Wheel: 80mm inducer 73mm exducer with 83 trim withstands 1700-degree exhaust temperatures
  • V-Band Housings: Turbine inlet outlet and compressor inlet outlet use clamps for leak-free assembly and easy maintenance
  • Ported 0.96 A/R Turbine Housing: External wastegate design prevents turbine over-speed for precise boost control

Product Notes

  • External wastegate actuator and dump pipe required sold separately
  • Oil and water lines must match -4AN feed M12x1.5 o-ring and M14x1.5 ports
  • VSR balanced assembly includes all required clamps and hardware

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Custom exhaust manifold and downpipe fabrication required for universal fit
  • Water cooling recommended for longevity connects to factory turbo lines

Forced Induction

Forced Induction

Forced induction systems encompass every method of pushing air into an engine at greater than atmospheric pressure, including turbochargers driven by exhaust energy, superchargers driven mechanically by the crankshaft, and prochargers using centrifugal designs belt-driven at higher ratios than traditional roots-type blowers, with each approach delivering a significant increase in air mass per cylinder fill that allows proportionally more fuel to be burned and more power to be produced without increasing engine displacement. Adding 10 PSI of boost pressure to a naturally aspirated engine can increase power output by 50 to 70 percent depending on the engine's breathing efficiency and the quality of the supporting hardware, making forced induction the most power-dense modification available relative to cost and complexity. This collection covers complete forced induction systems, turbocharger and supercharger hardware, intercoolers, blow-off valves, wastegates, and supporting component...

Turbochargers

Turbochargers

Turbochargers use exhaust gas energy to spin a turbine wheel that drives a compressor wheel on a shared shaft, compressing intake air above atmospheric pressure and forcing a denser charge into the engine's cylinders. More air allows more fuel to be burned per cycle, producing substantially more power and torque from the same engine displacement. Popular Turbocharger Options Popular replacement and upgrade turbochargers include drop-in OEM-equivalent units for restoring factory performance after turbocharger failure, bolt-on upgraded turbochargers sized for 20 to 40 percent power gains on stock internals, and large-frame high-output turbochargers for built engine applications targeting 600 horsepower and above. Leading turbocharger brands include Garrett, Borg Warner, IHI, Mitsubishi, Holset, and Precision Turbo, each offering a range of frame sizes and bearing configurations for different applications. How do I choose the right size turbocharger? Turbocharger sizing is determined b...
