Turbocharger Kit Parts and Upgrades

Close your eyes for a second. Lean back in your chair. Inhale. An image appears in your mind, fuzzy at first, but slowly swimming into focus. The edges sharpen to accentuate the gleaming panels of a brand new Bugatti Veyron. Exhale.

This sleek muscle-machine oozes class and style in a manner that somewhat belies the power of the untamed beast restrained within. Don’t be fooled - this monster is at the cutting edge of turbocharged technology. The eight litre quad turbo engine in a W16 configuration delivers a frightening 1001 horsepower (nearly half the horses that rode out against Napoleon in the battle of Waterloo). Working the clutch through seven gears on a four wheel drive transmission releases that power to the road and the results are stunning. Accelerate from a standing start and you could be doing over 100km/hr in a mere 2.5 seconds. Keep your foot to the floor and soon enough the terrain will be flashing past at 400km/hr.

Not every car can be fitted with four turbochargers. However, custom turbocharger kits are available for a multitude of makes and models over all budget ranges. Check out our website for helpful information and links on tweaking your vehicle with some raw turbocharged power. Not everyone can have a Bugatti Veyron, but everyone can dream.

Have a look at this show-stopping 6.3 litre twin turbo V8 monster bought to you by Shelby Supercars! This beast is the world's second-fastest production car boasting a staggering 1287 horsepower (960 kW) that is coaxed from its twin-turbo V8 engine, taking it to a top speed of a whopping 260 mph. The ultra-lightweight carbon fibre body features twin venturi tunnels and houses a mid-engine rear-wheel drive. The explosive power is tempered with a double-wishbone front suspension and an upper rocker arm and lower wishbone rear suspension with roll bar.

SSC have clearly not been primarily focused on the interior - which is somewhat plain - but all this is forgotten when the terrifying horsepower is unleashed! Handling at lower speeds is not the best and leaves one to question whether it has power steering. At higher speeds, once it's set into its stride, the handling becomes much smoother. This car is smashing records left right and centre and for a ride as sleek and powerful as this it's sobering to realise it costs around half the price of its closest competitor - the Bugatti Veyron. For pure, raw turbocharged power, there are not many vehicles around that can match the SSC Ultimate Aero TT.
