Nobody knows turbos like Garrett. They’re used on almost every serious turbo build from the Japanese scene to hot rods and European imports. These two are from their latest GTX line. The top turbo is a GTX2860R that features a forged, fully-machined 11-blade billet compressor wheel. Designed for rally competition, it uses a 49-trim compressor wheel that’s meant for a 34mm restrictor—good for 300hp but intended to give you max torque. It’s also shown with Garrett’s turbo speed sensor. The other turbo is a GTX3067R which is made of a fully-machined 10-blade compressor wheel. It has dual ball-bearing oil and watercooled center hub rotating assembly and a ported compressor shroud to increase surge resistance. This turbo can be easily interchangeable with Garrett’s other parts to be tailored to your needs. They recommend using it for anything between a 1.8- to 3.0-liter motor, and can make up to 500hp.
