Product Function & Benefits
Optimized Performance:
Upgraded turbos can significantly increase your engine's power by forcing more air into the combustion chamber. Upgrading the stock turbocharger(s) allows the engine to burn fuel more efficiently and produce more power. Upgraded turbos often come with various stages and options, allowing you to choose the level of performance enhancement that best suits your needs. There are various types of turbo upgrades available.
Most of the turbos we carry are "hybrid" turbo upgrades. These combine upgraded components from different turbos, including the OEM turbos, to improve airflow, boost levels, and response time. By using the stock housings, you can save on the cost of entirely new turbochargers while still achieving substantial performance improvements. Upgraded turbos contain modified and/or upgraded compressor and turbine housings, wheels, center hub rotating assembly (CHRA), bearings, and wastegates.
Tune-Related Impact & Tuner Recommendation
Recommended vs Required:
• Upgrading the Turbos is not required.
• This modification provides maximum gains when running ethanol content greater than 40%.
• Upgraded turbos may require a tune.
• Hybrid / Stock housing turbos do not require a tune, but one is strongly recommended.
• Full frame turbos should be accounted for with tuning.
• Upgrading turbos on a tuned vehicle requires a tune update.
• This upgrade should be discussed with us in advance so we can provide an adequate tune update in a timely manner.
Explorer-Specific Information
As always, with great power comes great responsibility. Upgrading your turbos has the potential to increase power output beyond what other components can support (e.g., transmission). Please be diligent in ensuring that you are adding sufficient support for each upgrade. We are here to help if you have any questions or would like specific recommendations.
F150-Specific Information
Some of the turbo upgrades for this platform require turbo adapter(s). There are downpipes available that incorporate the flange for upgraded turbos, and eliminate the need for adapters (e.g., SPD Downpipes).
