More Flow for more Power

Tuning often begins with software optimization, but the existing vehicle reserves are quickly maxed out and the maximum performance achieved. Achieving even higher performance levels is only possible with hardware modifications. For charged turbo motors, replacing the standard turbocharger for a more powerful Upgrade Turbocharger is a smart option. Our Upgrade Turbochargers are designed and optimised specifically for the tuning and racing industry. All of our models are adapted to fit a specific type of motor or vehicle. This enables the production of customised products which help achieve significantly higher performance levels.

In many cases, our Upgrade Turbocharger can be installed without the need for further vehicle hardware modifications. But it does make sense to carry out further modifications, to get the most out of our products. Software adaptation for our turbochargers is essential; a clearly improved turbocharger also requires clearly improved software.

Representing the latest in turbocharger technology, LOBA take a factory brand new OE BorgWarner turbocharger and optimize with 5-AXIS CNC machining processes to reduce back pressure and maximize throughput, utilising a bigger extended tip compressor and also using a larger turbine wheel that they clip to increase the mid-range and top-end power, both are then precision balanced to less than 0.05 gmm and then balanced again together to far higher standards then OE, then LOBA fit a reinforced axial bearing for the very best compromise between power output, longevity and turbo response. LO270 delivers powerful, refined consistent performance.

The following LOBA specific optimizations were applied

state-of-the-art “Extended Tip” compressor wheel

5-axis CNC re-profiled compressor housing and backplate

5-axis CNC re-profiled turbine housing

special clipped turbine wheel

optimized clearances

modified actuator

uprated bearing

LOBA Superior Balancing

This is a direct OE replacment.

Depending on engine management settings, engine condition and other components utilized this turbo is capable of producing over 280PS
