Turbo & Supercharger Mounting

Turbochargers have long been used with diesel engines, but it wasn’t until the 1980s that they were widely used on gasoline powered cars, when vehicle manufacturers turned to turbos to wring more horsepower from downsized engines. But those turbos often didn’t deliver the promised level of performance, and they had a less than stellar reputation for reliability, so, when gas prices stabilized and consumers became less concerned with fuel economy, carmakers went back to larger, naturally aspirated engines. With present-day auto makers trying to meet strict CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards, turbos have returned, but not just for performance models. Today you’ll find SUVs with small turbocharged 4-cylinder engines that make more torque than larger naturally aspirated V6 engines, and turbo V6s in pickups that have more towing power than their V8 predecessors. And although they’re much more dependable these days, if you do have a problem, we have the high quality, affordably-priced replacement parts to restore performance and fuel economy.

Turbochargers, and their supercharger relatives, are forced induction systems. Unlike naturally aspirated engines, where the cylinders are filled by atmospheric pressure, forced induction systems push air into the engine, forming a dense, oxygen rich air charge in the cylinders, increasing the amount of fuel that can be added, and substantially raising power output. But where superchargers are driven off the crank and consume part of the power they add, turbochargers make use of the “free” energy from the engine exhaust. A turbocharger consists of a turbine wheel and a compressor wheel that rotate on a common shaft within their respective housings.

The turbine wheel is plumbed into the exhaust system and exhaust flow spins the turbine blades, which in turn drives the compressor wheel. The compressor section of the turbo is part of the air intake system. Air is drawn through the air filter and intake tube, compressed by the compressor wheel and forced into the intake manifold. If you want to upgrade your vehicle with a turbocharger or supercharger or your existing unit requires replacement, you are in the right place. We not only offer new and remanufactured turbochargers, but the mounting components and hardware needed to make a complete repair or upgrade as well. We handpick a wide range of sturdy and dependable hardware designed for simple, hassle-free installation. We carry everything from flanges and pedestals to bolt kit to get the job done quickly, reliably and easily.

We handpick an extensive line of turbo mounting pedestals available in different sizes to fit your custom, high-performance applications. Worn out pedestals can cause such issues as turbo oil leaks. Affected pedestals may also cause the turbo to be displaced, which may result in rattling noise while on the move. So, if you’re in need of a top-grade pedestal that will ensure secure and reliable mounting of your turbo on your vehicle-specific diesel engine, we’ve got you covered. Constructed from robust materials to last a lifetime, they’ll provide you with years of superior leak-free service and rugged dependability.

We also showcase a great variety of inlet flanges for optimum boost control. Precision laser-cut and CNC-machined, they will fit your T3 or T3/T04 type turbo perfectly. Flanges are made from high-grade steel to ward off rust and prevent warping due to high heat and last a lifetime. On our virtual shelves, we collect top-notch turbocharger and supercharger hardware and kits to choose what meets your needs. With a durable bolt kit, you can securely and safely attach your blower or compressor to the exhaust manifold. Manufactured from superior-quality materials, mounting hardware we offer provides bulletproof strength and durability under extreme conditions. It will hold your HP upgrade rock-solid in place for many miles to come.
