Description
The Turbosmart 8280 T4 0.96AR Externally Wastegated TS-1 Turbocharger provides controlled boost delivery and dependable forced-induction performance for applications requiring an externally wastegated solution.
Product overview: Manufactured by Turbosmart, this unit is presented as a T4-mount, 0.96AR turbocharger with an external wastegate configuration and the TS-1 designation, designed for installers and tuners focused on functional, serviceable turbo upgrades.
- T4 flange — facilitates direct mating to standard T4 turbine manifolds and header patterns, simplifying installation and reducing the need for custom adapters.
- 0.96AR turbine housing — the 0.96AR housing geometry influences turbine flow and response characteristics, providing a balance between spool behavior and exhaust energy management.
- Externally wastegated configuration — the external wastegate arrangement separates boost control from the turbine housing, enabling precise boost regulation and easier access for maintenance or actuator adjustments.
- TS-1 model designation — denotes Turbosmart’s specific TS-1 design within their turbo product lineup, consistent with the brand’s focus on motorsports-grade components.
Value and functionality: This turbocharger is specified to deliver the core functions expected from an externally wastegated, T4-mount turbo: a serviceable boost control topology, compatibility with common T4 manifolds, and a turbine housing aspect ratio that targets a compromise between response and high-end flow for performance-oriented installations.
Installation and integration notes: The T4 flange and external wastegate layout are intended to integrate with aftermarket turbo manifolds and externally wastegated plumbing; installers should verify manifold, actuator, and wastegate sizing to match vehicle-specific requirements and tuning strategy.
Brand assurance: Turbosmart’s name on the 8280 T4 0.96AR Externally Wastegated TS-1 Turbocharger identifies it as part of a product family aimed at professional installations and turbo upgrade projects where predictable boost control and serviceability are priorities.
