Please take a moment to answer six quick questions about a new Prototype Blow-Off Valve that we are working on. Your feedback and input are valuable to us and we thank you for taking a moment to help us.

Turbonetics is pleased to announce that the new RG-45 Wastegate p/n 11240 is now shipping. Completely designed from the ground up, Turbonetics engineers threw out the rule book when creating this new middle-weight wastegate. Capable of comfortably handling 700+ HP and only measuring slightly more than the super slim Evolution Wastegate, the RG-45 features V-Band connections in and out, 45mm valve diameter and cast stainless steel base for strength and durability.

The brand new RG-45 replaces the legendary Racegate p/n 10307 (now discontinued) in our wastegate lineup. Built with the latest technology such as an inconel valve to withstand high exhaust gas temperatures, high temp fluro-silicone diaphragm for predictable and repeatable boost control, and V-Band connections all in a very small frame size. Like its name suggests the gate has a 1.77''/45mm valve and is good for powerplants making 700+ HP.

The RG-45 is also able to be bolted on to the Tial 44mm gate V-Band flanges with the (21912 optional adaptor flange) to make this a direct replacement with no modifications necessary.

RG-45 Features:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

45mm Valve - Able to control 700+ HP
DFT - Directed Flow Technology uses active design to move exhaust gases out of the main body chamber
Investment Cast Stainless Steel - Corrosion resistance & strength
V-Band flanges - Inlet and discharge are made for easy installation and adjustments
Multiple Boost Ports - For clean and simple installation
11 psi spring installed - Comes with 5, 8, as well as 15 psi springs
Turbonetics stand-off base design - Provides cooling for the valve and diaphragm insulation

Are you looking to increase the horsepower of your 335i to match the great factory torque delivery? Turbonetics and its high performance intercooler brand Spearco now offers bolt-on intercooler upgrades for the 2007-up 335i coupes and sedans. BMW owners can now enjoy the benefits of increased flow and more efficient air to help dramatically lower intake air temperatures to increase power. By using a massive 6� thick W.A.V.E. Technology core, the Spearco front mount intercooler dropped charge air temperatures on average of 125 degrees on the twin turbo vehicle. In addition to lower intake air temperatures, the pressure of air exiting the intercooler compared to the pressure entering the unit was only an amazing 0.20 psi drop. The stock unit has over one pound of pressure loss/drop due to the factory unit�s lack of efficiency and limited size. When the stock unit is upgraded to the Spearco you will have less heat and more power due to the ability to quickly and efficiently move the pressurized air through the intercooler assembly.

The Subaru Legacy wagon lives up to the family crest by making lots of power in a real sleeper vehicle. Blow the doors off those other sports cars when you bolt-on the new Spearco top mount intercooler. The W.A.V.E. Technology core provides maximum efficiency in the tight stock location and greatly reduces the intake charge temp and allows you to turn the boost up to see the true potential of this engine. Designed to be a direct factory replacement, the Spearco assembly drops right into place in less than 2 hours of install time. More info available HERE

Turbonetics Inc. launches a new line of turbo & intercooler diesel performance products under the Torque-Master brand name for the Ford 7.3L Powerstroke.

Incorporating larger, stronger turbos able to withstand the rigors of extended use at higher boost pressures, the Torque-Master turbos by Turbonetics, offer more horsepower and torque, even at stock boost pressures due to their ability to flow a greater volume of air. The bolt-on turbo upgrades will also be available in a Patented Ceramic Ball Bearing option for faster spool up, increased power response and durability at the end of this spring.

An even more popular item for the masses is the larger Spearco front mount intercooler upgrade. Featuring W.A.V.E. Technology cores utilizing a bar and plate design, for strength and efficiency, the Spearco intercooler offers approximately 30% more volume for charge air-cooling. The precision welded aluminum construction adds reliability, especially over the plastic end tanks being used by some manufacturers. Spearco Intercoolers allow users to tow harder, faster and pull more weight by reducing intake temps which in turn equally lowers exhaust gas temperatures.

The combination of the larger turbo and intercooler are capable of supporting an increase of over 200 horsepower. Both products are bolt-on upgrade items, which require no cutting, welding or vehicle modifications to install.

Spearco Ford 7.3L Powerstroke Intercooler Upgrade:
p/n 2-478
MSRP - $1499.00

Turbonetics Ford 7.3L Powerstroke Turbo Upgrade:
p/n 11117
MSRP - $1599.00
