When you think of turbochargers, you probably picture heavy-duty diesel engines, massive trucks, or high-performance race cars. But what if we told you that the Switchblade Turbo isn’t just for diesel? In fact, we recently proved that it can boost just about any internal combustion engine—including a 2005 Harley-Davidson V-Rod.
Jim and the team decided to push the limits and fit a Switchblade Turbo onto his V-Rod. The result? A 200HP beast that completely redefines what a Harley can do. This project wasn’t just about making a bike faster , it was also proving that Switchblade’s patented turbo technology can be adapted to various applications.
Unlike traditional turbos, the Switchblade Turbo uses a revolutionary vane design that consist of only one Inconel vane that automatically adjusts to optimize airflow based on engine load and RPM. This means it will never get stuck like all of the OEM design multiple blade designs primary failure mode…and you also get :
✅ No Wastegate Required – Eliminates the need for a wastegate by dynamically controlling exhaust flow
✅ Broad Powerband – Instant boost at low RPM without sacrificing high-end performance
✅ More Power, Less Lag – Maximizes airflow for faster spool times and improved efficiency
✅ Versatility – Whether it’s a Harley, farm equipment, on Highway truck, or an Industrial CAT turbocharger, the Switchblade design can be retrofitted to fit the need
While we’ve made a name for ourselves in the aftermarket turbocharger industry—especially for heavy-duty diesel—this project proves that the Switchblade Turbo isn’t limited to one market. Whether you’re looking to boost farm equipment, upgrade a Caterpillar turbocharger, or take your motorcycle to the next level, our technology delivers.
