The Turbosmart TS-1-7170B-VB096E TS-1 7170 Kompact Turbocharger delivers serious horsepower capability in a compact, response-focused package. Designed for high-performance street and motorsport applications, this specific configuration features a 71mm compressor inducer, 70mm turbine exducer, standard rotation, 0.96 A/R turbine housing, V-band turbine inlet and outlet, and an externally wastegated design. Turbosmart currently rates this model for 875–1,010 horsepower.
Turbosmart engineered the TS-1 series around reduced rotating mass and advanced aerodynamics to provide exceptional transient response without sacrificing high-load airflow. A proprietary dual ceramic bearing system works with an aggressive 7+7 2618 aluminum splitter-style compressor wheel, allowing the turbocharger to respond quickly while maintaining the airflow needed for demanding high-horsepower combinations.
Built to withstand extreme operating conditions, the TS-1 7170 combines a lightweight 310S stainless-steel investment-cast turbine housing with a 713C Inconel turbine wheel for excellent high-temperature durability. CFD-developed housing geometry, VSR speed balancing, and an integrated iron center-housing backplate round out a turbocharger designed for performance, durability, and efficient power production.

7170 Kompact Performance
- The 7170 Kompact pairs a substantial 71mm compressor with Turbosmart's 70mm turbine platform, giving builders the airflow required for serious power while maintaining the response-oriented characteristics of the Kompact design. Turbosmart's current specifications place this particular model at 875–1,010 HP, making it well suited to applications approaching four-digit power levels.
- Actual horsepower and spool characteristics will depend on engine displacement, compression ratio, cylinder-head airflow, camshaft selection, exhaust manifold design, fuel, boost pressure, intercooling, exhaust backpressure, and tuning.
Standard-Rotation 0.96 A/R Configuration
- Part number TS-1-7170B-VB096E specifically identifies the standard-rotation, V-band, 0.96 A/R, externally wastegated version of the TS-1 7170 Kompact. This distinction is important because Turbosmart also offers the 7170 with a T4 housing, a larger 1.07 A/R V-band housing, and corresponding reverse-rotation V-band configurations.
- Compared with the TS-1-7170B-VR096E reverse-rotation model, this VB096E version is standard rotation. This makes it the appropriate choice for conventional turbo-system layouts where reverse rotation is neither required nor desired.
V-Band External-Wastegate Design
- This configuration uses 3-inch V-band connections at both the turbine inlet and outlet. V-band connections provide secure clamping while simplifying installation and removal compared with traditional multi-bolt turbine connections. Turbosmart includes the corresponding weld flanges and clamps with this model, providing the specialty hardware required when fabricating the manifold and downpipe.
- Because the turbocharger is externally wastegated, boost control is handled by a separately installed external wastegate. This allows the builder to choose the wastegate size, quantity, and placement appropriate for the engine displacement, manifold design, exhaust flow, and desired boost range.
Installation & Application
- The TS-1-7170B-VB096E is a universal performance turbocharger rather than a vehicle-specific bolt-on replacement. Installation requires a compatible V-band exhaust manifold, appropriately sized external wastegate system, fabricated downpipe and charge piping, and properly configured oil-feed and unrestricted oil-return plumbing.
- The TS-1 is specifically Turbosmart's oil-cooled turbocharger platform. Builders requiring both oil and water cooling should look to the corresponding TS-2 series instead.
For serious performance builds where response matters just as much as peak airflow, the Turbosmart TS-1-7170B-VB096E 7170 Kompact combines 875–1,010 HP capability, a 71/70mm wheel combination, standard rotation, 0.96 A/R V-band hot side, dual ceramic bearings, and lightweight high-temperature materials in a compact package engineered for demanding turbocharged applications.
