We spent years experimenting with the various turbos for the 951. We select the best turbos to be used as part of our performance packages. Our selection was based on reliability, ease of install and performance capability of each turbo. We paid attention to the details.
We are constantly looking for better ways to improve our turbos. Our goal is to bring you the best products.
Our customers love the turbos we provided them. When building a turbo we have the following goals in mind:
- Reliability: this is a must. We use the best components available on the market. We modify the components to match our custom designs. We modify the internals for better oil management to handle the higher oil pressure. Every component is modified to achieve the desired goals.
- Performance: The market is flooded with turbos. Selecting a laggy turbo that flows up top, but falls short in the mid-range is easy. The same for selecting a small turbo that falls short up top; it is also easy to do. Both turbos, large or small, will address a narrow RPM spectrum and will give you a small area under the power curve. We, at Vitesse, did not settle for the “ok” turbo. We wanted to offer you a fast spooling turbo that is capable of supporting high horsepower. We succeeded! All of our turbos are fast spooling and can provide the flow to match your engine’s potential.
- Drivability: I’m sure you heard the term “Off/On switch” when people refer to turbo cars. Basically you have no power “Off”, due to turbo lag. You sit and wait till the turbo comes to life and the power increase in a disruptive manner “On”. This makes the car very hard to handle! After years of performance driving experience on the race track, we know that “Off/On” cars are difficult to handle, slower and not much fun to drive. We wanted a turbo with a linear power delivery, a turbo that can be modulated, a turbo that makes the car feel like a big V8 with lots of torque everywhere.
Every Vitesse turbo offers you these important characteristics. We do not offer a “one size fits all” turbo. Each turbo is designed to match your requirements. It takes lots of work, and it costs more but the end results are well worth it. I’m sure you will agree when you try it.
Each turbo has the following characteristics:
- Oil and water cooled. Oil cooled only is optional or when noted.
- Direct bolt-on replacement to the stock units. Due to the large size of the compressor housing you have to bend the water pipe to fit. We also offer a custom metric adaptor to simplify the installation.
If you have a unique application, drop us a note. We can build the turbo to match your requirements.
