What Turbosmart USA does

Turbosmart USA is the North American regional subsidiary of Turbosmart, an Australian-founded manufacturer of high-performance boost control and forced-induction components for turbocharged vehicles. Established in 2007 and headquartered in Rancho Cucamonga, California, the company serves the North and South American markets under the leadership of General Manager and Vice President Marty Staggs. Its product portfolio spans turbochargers (TS-1 oil-cooled and TS-2 water-cooled series, sizes 5862–8280), blow-off valves (Kompact EM, Kompact, RacePort, ProPort, PowerPort, Big Bubba), external wastegates (UltraGate38 through PowerGate60, plus the eWG electronic and eSG50 StraightGate butterfly variants), internal wastegate actuators, electronic and manual boost controllers, fuel pressure regulators and filters, oil management components, intercoolers, and charge-air control valves — totaling over 900 SKUs across core product lines.

Core technology centers on the GenV external wastegate architecture (CFD-driven, rotating actuator, modular mounting), the patented Kompact EM electro-mechanical valve that integrates factory vehicle electronics with motorsport-proven mechanical performance, and world-first electronic wastegate designs that eliminate springs, hoses, and diaphragms. Pricing per unit ranges from approximately $4.99 (merchandise/decals) to over $7,250 (mirror twin turbo packages), with most performance hardware in the $100–$800 range. The FPRF fuel pressure regulator with built-in filter was introduced in 2024 as the most recent product extension.

The business model is hardware sales through three complementary channels: a direct-to-consumer Shopify e-commerce storefront (turbosmart-usa.myshopify.com) with US warehouse fulfillment, a global dealer network spanning 50+ countries accessed via the company's dealer-locator tool, and direct regional sales teams in North America and UK/Europe/MEA. Primary customer segments are automotive performance enthusiasts modifying turbocharged vehicles, professional and amateur motorsport/racing teams, and OEM-upgrade buyers of factory turbocharged vehicles (Ford, Subaru, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Jeep). All products are manufactured in Australia at the Wetherill Park, Sydney facility; Turbosmart USA operates as the importer, sales, support, marketing, and logistics arm for the Americas.
