BorgWarner S500SX 88.19mm Turbo (179186)

The 88mm S500SX turbocharger from BorgWarner is the 2nd largest turbocharger in the Airwerks lineup.

This turbo is BorgWarner’s answer to the growing need for a fast spooling turbo that can generate well over 1000whp. Ideal for Drag Racers who want to make OBSCENE power levels with reasonable spool, this is our preferred twinscroll T6 performance turbo to compliment a divided T6 manifold. It uses state-of-the-art blade aero to efficiently power 900-1475+whp applications. Journal Bearing and Oil Cooled only (watercooling and BB CHRA not applicable).
