S480SX-E – 80mm Enhanced S400SX-E 11096

BorgWarner S480SX-E – 80.30mm S400SX-E

Utilizing the latest generation 80.30mm billet EFR compressor wheel aerodynamics with uprated 360 degree thrust assemblies, the all new ‘SX-Enhanced’ turbos redefine performance and value for modern turbochargers.

This proven design is packaged in a purpose built SX-E compressor housing with ported-shroud inlet and speed sensor port. It is paired with traditional Airwerks 96mm Inconel Turbine and Flexible Housing options.  The brand new 80.30mm S400SX-E Turbocharger from Borg Warner is the 4th largest T6 turbo in the Airwerks lineup.  Ideal for applications which 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 80mm drag racing applications.  Thermals are taken care of by an Oil-Cooled Journal Bearing only.
