About ApexTurbo:
From their website, www.ApexTurbo.com : Revolutionizing the truck, tractor and sled-pulling industry, the team at ApexTurbo continues to lap the competition when it comes to high-performance turbochargers.
Established in Southeastern Michigan, ApexTurbo introduced their ground-breaking turbocharger to the racing community in Indianapolis at the 2019 Performance Racing Industry show.
ApexTurbo earned its name for its unique fastener-free compressor and turbine wheel geometry, improving air flow and increasing horsepower.
Making power the point, their patented design eliminates the intake retention fastener and, by locking the compressor wheel to the hub, removes the need for torquing and over tightening. As an added bonus, it’s also easier to service.
The company’s high-powered turbochargers first shook up the motorsport’s world in 2020, when clients began using the turbochargers, delivering as promised, helping pullers place in the top three in the Super Farm class at the National Farm Machinery Show’s Championship Tractor Pull.
Using American-made and engineered parts, the customizable turbos have been sold around the world, with current customers in the U.S, Europe, Australia, Canada, South America, Thailand, and Puerto Rico.
Whether you are into tractor and sled pulling or looking to join the competitive drag racing circuit, ApexTurbo’ s dyno-tested and proven technology delivers the power you need to perform.
ApexTurbo’ s innovative designs already hold three United States patents, two International patents along with additional domestic and international patents pending.
While it was Ryan and Deena’s initial idea, the team agrees they could not have done it without the relentless drive for improvement they received from their clients.
With dedication to the craft and a winning attitude, the people at ApexTurbo are in your corner when you are looking to add power and speed when you need it most. For more information about high-performance turbochargers from the experts at ApexTurbo call us directly at 734.777.1380.
