House of Automotive’s turbocharger upgrades exist because the team set out to achieve the best performance possible without making sacrifices. That guiding idea is important, because “performance” in the real world is not just a peak power figure. It includes how the vehicle responds, how consistently it delivers boost, and whether the result feels strong and usable across the rev range.
During the earliest stages of testing, House of Automotive found that meeting that goal required more control than an outsourced approach could provide. So instead of relying on external parties for key steps, they made the call to stop outsourcing and bring every aspect of the turbocharger program in-house.
Moving design and engineering in-house is ultimately about ownership of the end result. When you control the process internally, you can keep the development aligned to one standard, with one set of priorities driving decisions. That helps ensure the finished turbocharger package reflects the original intent: strong performance without avoidable compromises.
House of Automotive describes this as taking over all aspects of the turbocharger program internally. In practical terms, that means the turbocharger offering is not simply selected or rebranded, it’s a product of a program they actively develop, manage and manufacture.
Here are the practical questions most customers should consider before choosing a turbocharger upgrade:
What outcome are you chasing
Some builds prioritise response and drivability, while others prioritise power potential. Defining the goal helps avoid mismatched expectations.
How the vehicle is actually used
A daily-driven setup can benefit from a different balance than a vehicle that spends more time in performance driving scenarios. The best upgrade is the one that suits the real operating conditions.
Supporting hardware and overall package
We supply all upgraded parts alongside our turbochargers to help create a complete setup. Treating the upgrade as a system typically leads to a better end result.
Getting advice before you buy
If you are unsure which direction to go, starting a quick conversation can save a lot of time and help ensure the selected turbo and supporting parts make sense for your goals.
