Turbosmart is a performance brand best known for designing and manufacturing boost control and turbocharger support hardware, including blow-off valves (BOVs), wastegates, boost controllers, and electronic boost control systems. The brand is highly respected in the turbo performance world for its focus on reliability under high boost, consistent pressure control, and motorsport-proven engineering.

Founded & Early Direction

Turbosmart originated in Australia and built its name by developing components specifically for forced induction performance, where precise boost management and dependable sealing are critical. From the start, Turbosmart focused on controlling boost accurately and safely, supporting everything from mild street builds to track-level horsepower.

Growth Into a Global Boost-Control Leader

As the turbo performance market expanded, Turbosmart grew into one of the most recognized names in boost management by offering a broad lineup of:

• Blow-Off Valves (BOVs)
  
• External Wastegates
  
• Internal wastegate actuators
  
• Boost controllers and solenoids
  
• Fuel pressure regulators and accessories
  
• Race-port solutions for high power applications
  

They’re especially well known for products that can handle high heat, high boost pressure, and aggressive driving conditions without failure.

Motorsport + Engineering Reputation

Turbosmart has long been associated with motorsports and high-performance applications, and their products are commonly used in drag racing, time attack, drifting, and road racing builds worldwide. Their reputation is built on:

• High-quality materials and machining
  
• Reliable valve sealing and boost response
  
• Consistent, repeatable boost control
  
• Strong support for modern turbo platforms
  

Today

Today, Turbosmart is considered one of the top brands for anyone running a turbocharged or supercharged setup, offering upgrade paths for:

• Street performance builds
  
• High boost “big turbo” setups
  
• Track-focused builds
  
• Race-level boost control systems

1) Precise boost control you can trust

Turbosmart parts are built for stable, predictable performance—especially important when you’re pushing boost hard and need consistency run after run.

2) Trusted in high-horsepower turbo builds

If someone is upgrading to a bigger turbo, running ethanol, or pushing aggressive tuning, Turbosmart is one of the most common and trusted solutions for:

• Wastegates
  
• BOV upgrades
  
• Boost control hardware
  

3) Built for reliability under pressure (literally)

A big reason people choose Turbosmart is durability:

• Strong springs and diaphragm control
  
• Heat-resistant construction
  
• Solid sealing and response
  
• Designed to survive harsh under-hood environments
  

4) Better throttle response and drivability (BOV upgrades)

A good BOV does more than sound cool—Turbosmart valves can help improve:

• Compressor surge prevention
  
• Boost recovery between shifts
  
• Throttle response in tuned turbo cars
  

5) Huge selection for different setups

Turbosmart offers options for:

• Mild street builds
  
• Bolt-on upgrades
  
• Full race builds
  
• Custom fabrication setups
  

So the customer can choose the correct valve/wastegate size instead of forcing a “one size fits all” solution.

6) Motorsport-proven credibility

These parts aren’t built for looks—they’re widely used in real motorsport environments where failure isn’t an option.

7) Great choice for “future-proofing” a build

Even if someone is currently stock turbo, choosing Turbosmart can be a smart move because it supports the next steps later:

• Bigger turbo
  
• Higher boost targets
  
• Better boost control strategies
  
• Track abuse without weak links
  

8) Sound + performance (without being gimmicky)

Yes—people love Turbosmart for the sound. But unlike cheap valve options, Turbosmart is chosen because it delivers:

• Great sound
  
• Reliable operation
  
• Actual functional boost control benefits
