The S400SX4 S480 with 1.25 A/R is a BorgWarner AirWerks performance turbocharger featuring an 80mm billet compressor wheel and T4 twin-scroll turbine housing. The 1.25 A/R is the balanced mid-range option in the S480 turbine housing lineup — it offers a blend of spool speed and top-end flow that works well for street/strip builds targeting 750-1100 HP. Same 80mm/117.5mm Extended Tip billet compressor as the 1.10 A/R and 1.32 A/R variants. Built new, dynamically balanced. We supply performance shops, builders, and distributors.

Universal performance turbo — commonly used on Cummins 5.9L/6.7L, Detroit Series 60, Duramax, and Power Stroke in compound or single turbo setups.

The 1.25 A/R turbine housing is the most popular S480 configuration for street/strip diesel builds. It offers enough low-end spool to be driveable on the street while flowing enough exhaust to support serious power levels. If you are not sure which A/R to choose, the 1.25 is the safest bet for most builds.
