How do I know what turbo I have?
The turbo part number can usually be found stamped or etched into the compressor housing of the turbocharger. Other numbers will be visible on the ID plate. These will be Vehicle manufacturer part numbers and build serial numbers. Numbers that you may also see are the turbo frame type ie: TD05, TF035.
What does the A r mean on a turbo?
A/R stands for Area over Radius. It is defined as the inlet (or, for compressor housings, the discharge) cross-sectional area divided by the radius from the turbo centerline to the centroid of that area.
What does GT on turbo mean?
First, let’s talk about how the Garrett turbo’s name is made up. We’ll use the GT2560RS as an example. GT simply stands for “Garrett Turbo” 25 refers to the “frame size” of the turbo, based on the turbine wheel inducer (the inducer being the top of the blade).
What cars have Garrett turbos?

Are T3 and T4 turbo flanges the same?
Both flanges are rectangular. The T4 is just larger. The T3 does happen to be more rectangular (meening the length:width ratio is larger). They are entirely different.
What is the difference between a T3 and T4 turbo?
In general, T3 class turbos can deliver air volume for applications in the 200 to 300 HP range. On the other hand, the T4 turbo has a larger turbine on the exhaust side and larger turbine fins on the intake compressor side. Generally speaking, T4 turbos are usually for larger motors and use a different exhaust flange.
How do I know if my Garrett turbo is real?
Authentic Garrett turbochargers will have a nameplate on the housing. The nameplate is usually a thin aluminum plate with numbers and letters stamped into it. The nameplate is commonly bonded to the turbo compressor housing, sometimes with a couple of small rivets.
Whats the difference between GT and turbo?
The new GTS has 453-hp maximum power as compared to 541 hp on the Turbo. Both Porsche models will get you from 0 to 60 mph in under five seconds. The GTS has a rating of 4.5 seconds and the Turbo comes in at just 3.9 seconds. The top track speed for the GTS is 167 mph, while the top speed for the Turbo is 177 mph.
How much horsepower does a Garrett turbo add?
As a general rule of thumb, Garrett GTX Gen II and G Series turbochargers have the potential to make 10-11 horsepower per every 10 lbs/min of air flow however there are many factors that will impact actual power output including Volumetric Efficiency, fuel quality, and others we will discuss below.
What kind of Turbo does a Garrett T3 / T4 hybrid use?
The Garrett T3/T4 Hybrid race turbo is the next step up from our street turbo. These high-boost turbos share the same low inertia and T3 turbine wheel and T4 compressor to make this the best choice for those wanting to make 300-500 horsepower. The high-boost turbo is designed to spool fairly quickly and can support up to 500 horsepower.
What’s the difference between a T3 and T4 turbo?
The T3/4 is a common hybrid turbocharger for custom, high-performance applications. There are different turbine/compressor wheel and bearing options available, but the one thing they have in common is the use of a Garrett T3 exhaust housing, and a larger T4/T04 compressor housing.
What are the turbine housings on a Garrett turbo?
Garrett engineers flow test and match the turbine inlet size with the turbocharger’s performance specs. Garrett performance turbine housings are offered in T25, T3, T4, T6, and V-Band turbine housing inlet connections. Have you ever asked yourself, “What’s the difference between T3, T4, T6, and V-band turbine housings”?
When did the Garrett T Series turbo come out?
Garrett T Series was the original turbo designation beginning in the 50s. T-Series turbos tend to have more parts, be larger in size, and represent early-generation technologies. Garrett GT Series first came into being in the early 90s, and they feature newer aerodynamic design, advanced design with fewer parts, and better overall performance.
