The BorgWarner AirWerks S400 SXE 11096 aka S488SX-E Delivers Between 750 and 1575 HP

Utilizing the latest generation 87.93mm billet EFR compressor wheel aerodynamics with uprated 360-degree thrust assemblies, the all-new ‘SX-Enhanced’ turbos redefine performance and value for high-power turbochargers. This proven design is packaged in a purpose-built SX-E compressor housing with a ported-shroud inlet and speed sensor port. It is paired with traditional Airwerks 96mm Inconel Turbine and Flexible Housing options.  

The brand new 87.93mm S400SX-E turbocharger is the 3rd largest T6 turbo in the BorgWarner AirWerks lineup. Ideal for applications that require more airflow than the Garrett GTX45R or 76mm S400SX, but also want better fitment than most T6 turbos. Higher airflow rates make this an excellent match for high-boost and high-power 88mm drag racing applications. Thermals are taken care of by an Oil-Cooled Journal Bearing only.
