Wotmafe Racing pit crew servicing race car #22 trackside in North Queensland

Built for Boost

S & A Automotive is a turbocharger and race mechanics workshop based in Cairns, where attention to detail really matters. The difference between a build that's quick and reliable and one that fights you every weekend usually comes down to how it was put together in the first place. Our mechanics handle turbo upgrades and rebuilds, custom intercooler piping, performance tuning, heavy-duty cooling systems and race-spec alignments. Whether you're chasing more out of a street car, building a dedicated track weapon or rebuilding a tired turbo, we have the experience to spec it right and the workshop to build it properly. We also run Wotmafe Racing, our own racing team competing in local events throughout North Queensland. It's hands-on experience that feeds directly back into the builds we do for our customers — real track knowledge, not just workshop theory. Many performance jobs also sit alongside upgraded brakes and suspension and engine and drivetrain work. Call (07) 4035 6789 to talk about your build.

Frequently Asked Questions

More boost means more heat, fuel demand and driveline load. A reliable turbo upgrade usually needs supporting work in cooling (intercooler, radiator), fuel delivery (injectors, pump), a clutch rated for the new torque figure and a custom ECU tune. Skipping any of these is what causes early failures.
