S588SX-E – 88mm Enhanced S500SX-E 120110

BorgWarner AirWerks S500 SXE 120110 aka S588SX-E

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 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 110mm Inconel Turbine and Flexible Housing options.  The brand new 87.93mm S500SX-E Turbocharger from Borg Warner is the 2nd largest T6 turbo in the Airwerks lineup.   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.
