GEN-6-576-10
Add to wish list

Not too big, not too small. ITS JUST RIGHT for YOUR SPEED. Capable of built block power and extremely fast spool times, this turbo can make 500+whp and hit 20psi by 3500-3600rpm. The CorkSport CST5 turbo can be tuned for a more laid-back curve that is stock block safe or pushed to 30+psi for built blocks and auxiliary fueling. No matter what build you have this turbo will be sure to impress. This it the best K04 turbo upgrade for your Mazdaspeed.

The CST5 features a MHI Journal Bearing CHRA, 0.82 Turbine A/R and 4” Anti-Surge Compressor Cover

The CST5 turbo is available in two boost control setups: Internally Wastegated (IWG) & 44mm Externally Wastegated (EWG) w/included EWG elbow pipe & V-band clamp.

Includes a FREE CorkSport 3.5 bar MAP sensor for accurate boost pressure up to 37psi.


The CorkSport Advantage
CST5 IWG and EWG Performance Precision Turbocharger

Balanced Performance

The CorkSport CST5 is designed with the ideal balance in response and power for the daily-driven Mazdaspeed 3 or Mazdaspeed 6. Just between the CST4 and CST6, the CST5 can reach ~20psi by 3500-3600rpm and carry power to 7300-7500rpm. Performance is clearly above and beyond the stock K04 turbo.

Stock Flange Fitment

Ease of installation and use is key to all CorkSport Performance Turbochargers. Perfectly designed to replace the K04 Mazdaspeed turbo, the CST5 retains the factory-style turbine flanges for a painless installation.

The turbine housing is designed with a 0.82 A/R to balance response and top-end power.

Anti-Surge Compressor

4” anti-surge ported compressor housing is utilized for peak performance operation. The anti-surge porting increase the compressor map width paired with an industry standard 4” inlet to maximize the use of 3.5” and 4” intake system.

CHRA Housing for CST5 improves Mazdaspeed

High Performance CHRA

MHI Journal bearing CHRA housings are used for both the CST4 and CST5 turbochargers for their increased cooling capacity and proven reliability.

High-performance journal bearings and a 360-degree high-performance thrust bearing is used.

Comparing the compressor and turbine wheels, we have a wheel size ratio of 1:15

CST5 Billet Compressor

Billet Compressor

Utilizing the Gen1 GTX71 billet compressor wheel, the CST5 can efficiently support 56 lbs/min flow rate and boost pressures over 30psi. An improvement over the K04 Mazdaspeed Turbo.

CST5 Turbine upgrade for K04

High Flow Turbine

Paired with the compressor wheel is an MHI TF06 high-flow turbine wheel. This wheel uses a 9-blade design which reduces overall rotating mass and thus improves response and spool.

Spring Set

Tunable Wastegate Actuator

The Internal Wastegate Actuator uses a larger diaphragm and piston for improved boost control for the larger CST5.
