Product Details
The Turbosmart TS-1-7170B-VR096E TS-1 7170 Kompact Turbocharger is built for serious high-horsepower applications where fast response, efficient airflow, and compact packaging are essential. This exact configuration combines a 71mm compressor inducer, 70mm turbine exducer, reverse-rotation design, 0.96 A/R turbine housing, 3-inch V-band turbine inlet and outlet, and external wastegate configuration. Turbosmart rates the TS-1 7170 for approximately 875–1,010 horsepower.
Turbosmart developed the TS-1 series around a "smaller, lighter and faster" philosophy, utilizing modern materials and advanced aerodynamics to reduce rotating mass while maintaining high-load performance. The proprietary dual ceramic bearing system works with an aggressive 7+7 2618 aluminum splitter-style compressor wheel to provide excellent transient response and strong performance at lower shaft speeds.
On the turbine side, the 7170 uses a lightweight 310S stainless-steel investment-cast turbine housing paired with a high-temperature 713C Inconel turbine wheel. CFD-developed housing geometry is engineered for optimized airflow and A/R characteristics, while each turbocharger is VSR speed-balanced for reliable operation at the extreme shaft speeds encountered in high-performance turbo systems.

Reverse-Rotation 7170 Kompact
- The TS-1-7170B-VR096E is specifically the reverse-rotation, 0.96 A/R V-band version of Turbosmart's TS-1 7170 Kompact. Turbosmart also offers a standard-rotation 0.96 A/R model and both standard- and reverse-rotation 1.07 A/R versions, so the complete part number is important when selecting the correct turbo for an existing manifold or custom fabrication project.
- Reverse rotation is particularly useful when building a mirrored twin-turbo system, allowing opposite-side turbochargers to be positioned more symmetrically. It can also provide packaging advantages in custom single-turbo installations where compressor outlet and inlet orientation are better suited to a reverse-rotation assembly.
0.96 A/R V-Band Turbine Housing
- This particular 7170 is equipped with a 0.96 A/R turbine housing, compared with the 1.07 A/R housing used on TS-1-7170B-VR107E. The smaller 0.96 A/R housing is generally the more response-oriented option of the two while still retaining the airflow capability of Turbosmart's 70mm turbine platform.
- Both the turbine inlet and outlet use 3-inch V-band connections, providing compact, secure connections for the exhaust manifold and downpipe. Turbosmart includes the corresponding weld flanges and V-band clamps with the turbocharger, simplifying fabrication of a properly designed custom turbo system.
TS-1 Oil-Cooled Architecture
- The TS-1 is Turbosmart's oil-cooled turbocharger platform. This is an important distinction from the TS-2 family, which incorporates both oil and water cooling. The TS-1 uses its proprietary bearing and main-shaft arrangement together with lightweight turbine and compressor components to minimize rotating mass and improve transient response.
- Turbosmart pairs this lightweight center section with aggressive compressor aerodynamics and a high-performance turbine system, targeting strong response without compromising airflow as engine load and exhaust flow increase.
Installation & Application
- The TS-1-7170B-VR096E is a universal performance turbocharger and is not intended as a vehicle-specific bolt-on replacement. Installation requires a properly fabricated 3-inch V-band exhaust manifold connection, appropriately sized external wastegate system, downpipe, charge piping, oil feed, and unrestricted oil drain.
- Because this model is externally wastegated, the wastegate is selected separately. Wastegate size and placement should be matched to engine displacement, exhaust flow, manifold design, intended boost level, and application.
For builds targeting serious four-digit horsepower potential while prioritizing response, the Turbosmart TS-1-7170B-VR096E 7170 Kompact delivers a compelling combination of an 875–1,010 HP rating, 71/70mm wheel combination, reverse rotation, response-oriented 0.96 A/R housing, dual ceramic bearings, and 3-inch V-band connections in a compact, motorsport-focused package.
