Turbosmart made waves at SEMA 2025 with the introduction of two new products designed to simplify high-performance builds. The lock sleeve offers a non-welding solution for securing turbocharger compressor outlets, while the BoostHub acts as an all-in-one electronic management center.
Key Takeaways
- Turbosmart’s Lock Sleeve eliminates welding with threaded collars and seals for secure connections up to 150 psi.
- The BoostHub centralizes control over multiple sensors, including EGTs and pressure sensors, enhancing performance management.
- D-Frame 88/92 is Turbosmart’s largest turbo offering yet, capable of supporting over 1,200 horsepower at the wheels.
The lock sleeve comes in two sizes: 2.5-inch and three-inch, designed to fit various compressor outlets without requiring cutting or welding. This product significantly reduces fabrication time while ensuring a clean appearance for cold-side piping. Competitors like V-bands and HD clamps require modifications that can compromise structural integrity.
The BoostHub integrates seamlessly with the eBoost3 boost controller, featuring a full-color display and 3-bar MAP sensor. It supports advanced control strategies such as Overboost Shutdown and Peak/Hold Recall, making it easier for builders to manage complex setups. Compared to standalone controllers, the BoostHub offers more comprehensive monitoring and control options.
Turbosmart’s D-Frame 88/92 turbocharger is a significant step up from previous offerings, designed specifically for builds requiring over 1,200 horsepower at the wheels. This model outperforms competitors like Precision Turbo’s PT6274 in terms of power output and durability, making it an attractive option for serious performance enthusiasts.
Frequently Asked Questions
