The Switchblade is a VGT (Variable Geometry Turbocharger) that has the convenience of spooling up like a small turbo that can open up like a large turbo. By doing this, the Switchblade greatly increases engine efficiency and performance.

“I came up with the idea of the Switchblade turbo when I started noticing more and more VGT turbo’s of other manufacturers coming through our shop for repair. Becoming very familiar with the different designs and their extreme complexity I thought, “there has to be a simpler way to accomplish the same results”. One day while cleaning a turbine wheel with solvent and blowing it off with an air nozzle I started noticing how I could vary the speed of the spinning turbine wheel by manipulating the air nozzle. This led me to start thinking about using one extra moving part versus a fixed geometry turbo to build a simpler VGT turbo with much less complexity and less moving parts to fail while significantly increasing engine performance.”
