The Turbosmart TS-1-7170B-VR107E TS-1 7170 Kompact Turbocharger is engineered for serious high-performance and motorsport applications requiring substantial airflow, rapid transient response, and flexible packaging. This specific configuration combines a 71mm compressor inducer, 70mm turbine exducer, reverse-rotation architecture, 1.07 A/R turbine housing, V-band turbine inlet and outlet, and external wastegate configuration. Turbosmart currently rates this turbocharger for 875–1,010 horsepower.
Part of Turbosmart's TS-1 oil-cooled turbocharger family, the 7170 utilizes an ultra-low-mass rotating assembly and proprietary dual ceramic bearing system designed to provide exceptional transient response. Its aggressive 7+7 splitter-style compressor wheel is manufactured from 2618 aluminum and paired with carefully developed compressor and turbine aerodynamics to deliver strong performance at lower shaft speeds while maintaining airflow at high engine loads.
The hot side is engineered for the extreme temperatures encountered in high-output turbocharged engines. A lightweight 310S stainless-steel investment-cast turbine housing surrounds a high-temperature 713C Inconel turbine wheel, while CFD-developed housing geometry is designed to optimize flow and A/R characteristics. Each turbocharger is also VSR speed-balanced to support smooth, reliable operation at extreme shaft speeds.

Reverse-Rotation 7170 Kompact Design
- Part number TS-1-7170B-VR107E specifically identifies the reverse-rotation, V-band, 1.07 A/R version of Turbosmart's TS-1 7170 Kompact. Turbosmart also manufactures standard-rotation and 0.96 A/R versions, making the complete part number especially important when selecting a turbocharger for an existing fabrication layout.
- Reverse rotation provides additional flexibility when designing custom turbo systems and is particularly valuable for mirrored twin-turbo installations, where opposite turbocharger rotation can produce cleaner, more symmetrical compressor and exhaust plumbing.
High-Response TS-1 Architecture
- Turbosmart developed the TS-1 around a smaller, lighter, faster-response philosophy. The proprietary bearing and shaft assembly minimizes rotating mass, while the aggressive compressor aerodynamics are designed to generate strong performance without requiring excessive shaft speed. Turbosmart pairs this with a high-performance turbine system intended to maintain power and flow as engine load increases.
- With a current manufacturer rating of 875–1,010 HP, the 7170 offers serious power capability while retaining the response-oriented characteristics of the Kompact platform. Actual power output and spool characteristics will depend on engine displacement, cylinder-head flow, compression ratio, fuel, boost pressure, exhaust manifold design, intercooling, exhaust system, and calibration.
1.07 A/R V-Band Turbine Housing
- This configuration uses a 1.07 A/R turbine housing with a 2.25-inch V-band inlet and 3-inch V-band outlet. V-band connections provide secure clamping while keeping the manifold and downpipe connections compact—an important advantage when fabricating tightly packaged performance systems.
- Because the TS-1-7170B-VR107E is externally wastegated, boost control is handled by a separately installed external wastegate. This allows the builder to select the wastegate size, quantity, and placement appropriate for the engine's displacement, exhaust flow, manifold design, and desired boost range.
Installation & Application
- The TS-1-7170B-VR107E is a universal performance turbocharger rather than a vehicle-specific bolt-on replacement. Installation requires an appropriately designed V-band exhaust manifold, external wastegate system, fabricated downpipe and charge piping, along with properly sized oil-feed and oil-drain plumbing.
- Turbosmart supplies the turbocharger with the turbine inlet and outlet weld flanges, matching V-band clamps, and oil-drain gasket, helping provide the specialty components required to integrate the turbo into a custom system. Turbosmart identifies the TS-1 as an oil-cooled turbocharger, distinguishing it from the TS-2 family, which adds water cooling.
For builds requiring four-digit horsepower capability, fast transient response, reverse-rotation packaging, and V-band installation, the Turbosmart TS-1-7170B-VR107E 7170 Kompact delivers a purpose-built combination of advanced aerodynamics, dual ceramic bearings, lightweight construction, and high-temperature materials designed for demanding performance applications.
