Service 04 — Forced induction

Turbo & supercharger builds,
done properly.

From a bolt-on turbo upgrade to a full kit with fueling, intercooling and a custom tune to match. This is where the 40–80% gains live — and where doing it cheap costs you an engine.

The job, properly

Big power is a system, not a part

Anyone can bolt a bigger turbo on. The build works when everything around it keeps up — fuel pump and injectors that feed it, an intercooler that keeps charge temps sane, an exhaust that flows, and a tune written for the whole package.

That's how we quote it: as a system. You get a list of every part, why it's there, and what happens if you skip it. Some things are optional and we'll say so. Some aren't, and we'll say that too — clearly enough that nobody's surprised.

Every forced-induction build finishes with a full dyno tune and a road test. You get the graphs, the parts list and a straight answer on what the car will handle from here.

Step by step

A build, week by week

Three to seven days on the hoist, depending on the kit. Here's the sequence.

Ask about yours
Step 01
Consult & quote

We agree the power target, the budget and the parts list. You see the full system on paper — every line item justified.

Step 02
Baseline & prep

Compression test, health check, baseline dyno. Big power on a tired engine is a phone call nobody wants to make.

Step 03
Strip & fit

Old hardware off, new kit on — turbo, manifold, wastegate, oil and water lines. Photo updates as we go.

Step 04
Supporting mods

Fueling, intercooler, exhaust — the parts that let the turbo actually do its job safely.

Step 05
Custom tune

Full dyno session — wastegate pressure first, then working up to target boost. Conservative timing, logged every run.

Step 06
Road test & heat check

Real-world driving, then back on the hoist to check for leaks and re-torque the hot-side hardware.

Step 07
Handover

Graphs, parts list, oil-change schedule for the turbo, and a straight brief on what the driveline will take.

Who does the work

The whole crew
is on your build

Forced induction is the one job where everyone in the shop touches the car — Dmitri on the calibration, Coop on the fabrication and fitment, Ang making sure the rest of the car can live with the power.

You get photo updates through the week and a straight phone call if anything doesn't go to plan. Big jobs go wrong when shops go quiet — ours don't.

Questions

Forced induction questions

Something else on your mind? Ring +61 2 4961 8527 — quickest answer is still the phone.

Depends on the engine, the target and the supporting parts. We compression-test first and tell you the honest ceiling. Some engines happily take 50% more — some are already at their limit from the factory, and we'll say which yours is.

Usually the driveline, not the engine — clutches and autos go before pistons do. We flag the weak points in the consult so the gearbox upgrade is in the budget, not a surprise a month later.

That's the point of a properly tuned kit — stock manners around town, violence when you ask for it. If you want a lag monster that's awful in traffic we can build it, but we'll try to talk you out of it first.

Turbo makes more power per dollar; supercharger gives instant, linear boost that's lovely on the street. If both are available for your car we'll lay out the real-world difference and let you pick.

Our workmanship — fitment, fabrication, tune. Parts carry their own manufacturer warranties. If something we did causes a problem, we fix it. That's the deal on every job, not just the big ones.
