What Is a Billet Upgrade?

A billet upgrade refers to the use of high-quality, machined billet components in the construction of parts, such as turbochargers. The term "billet" means the part is made from a single block of material (usually aluminum or steel) that is machined down to the final shape, as opposed to being cast or forged.

Key Benefits of a Billet Upgrade:

Strength and Durability:

Billet components are stronger than cast parts because they have a denser, more uniform grain structure. This makes them better suited for high-performance and heavy-duty applications.

Precision and Customization:

CNC machining used for billet parts allows for more precise designs and better airflow optimization, enhancing turbo performance.

Improved Heat Resistance:

Billet materials often handle heat and pressure more effectively than cast alternatives, which is critical for turbochargers operating at high RPMs and extreme conditions.
