BorgWarner Airwerks S252SX-E Turbo

The BorgWarner AirWerks S252SX-E Will Bring You Reliable and Affordable Power

At 52mm inducer, this is the smallest and most budget-friendly turbos in the SX-E family. BorgWarner utilizes their 70mm Inconel turbine wheel with 52.2mm inducer / 70mm exducer EFR compressor in a purpose-built S200SX-E compressor housing. Utilizing the latest generation billet EFR compressor wheel aerodynamics, and uprated 360-degree thrust assemblies, BorgWarner’s all-new ‘SX-Enhanced’ turbos redefine performance, durability, and value.  The modern updated version of the old "S256" turbocharger, the SX-E has smaller overall packaging than the EFR series with similar airflow rates making it an excellent match for the 300-480hp range or as twin-turbos in 600-900hp applications. Oil-Cooled Journal Bearing only.

Why We Love It:

BorgWarner's SX-E 7070 delivers huge bang-for-the-buck while using the proven materials and durability from the S300SX-E series.  This thing absolutely rocks.  A great turbo for any 4 or 6 cyl engine at 250-400hp range or twin turbo engines in the 400-750hp range.  Great reliability, great fitment and unbelievably good sound.  This turbo is surprisingly popular from stationary power generation and marine applications too.
