Closed-Loop Turbocharger Facilities Testing

Proper turbocharger testing is vital to achieve exceptional performance, and only TSI maintains sophisticated in-house testing capabilities for quick, reliable results. Our 6,200 square-foot test cell houses two turbocharger test stands that permit testing of all our turbo lines. This closed-loop system simulates actual on-engine conditions with two gas-fired burners. Real-time internet test monitoring allows the option of remote witness testing.
Testing capabilities for large and small turbochargers include mechanical, design point, and compressor mapping tests, giving our customers the utmost confidence in a proven, verified product. Testing is used to establish baseline performance data, facilitate troubleshooting, and enable product enhancements. As a matter of policy, every new TSI turbocharger is tested before delivery, as are all new turbocharger upgrades when first developed. Upon request, customers are welcome to take advantage of our testing and expert engineering analysis for rebuilt turbochargers.
