Current 2018 availability of the Water cooled Journal Bearing Garrett "50 trim"?
Does anyone know if they make a water cooled JB Garrett 50 trim? I thought I remembered seeing one at some point. Is it possible to retro fit a oil cooled only one into a water cooled version if so?

No need for water lines then, or find a turbo that includes them by default if your that paranoid. Whenever you go custom on something that doesn't come standard it ain't cheap

right but you were requesting to somehow modify it for the water ports which will increase the price and not at all necessary IMO

. Any cartridge can utilize the benefits of water lines in a water hammered chra. The reason why many of these less-expensive journal bearing turbos don't have a water jacket is not due to bearing design change, but simply because they allow the user to assume more risk when it comes to the use of the turbocharger for specific sporting events. It's a cost issue, plain and simple .
It's better to just pay to get the upgrade, than it is to retrofit a water jacket.. ( it can't really be done, anyway)

just because the turbocharger doesn't necessarily have waterlines attached to it, doesn't mean that a bearing design is that much different from one that had them.

They did. But not any longer. They phased it out along with the GT3251 and GT3255 that used a oil/water-cooled CHRA. Everything became streamlined in their line with the introduction of the Hunter turbo about 3-4 years ago.

Hunter turbo will fit the bill.
50trim to gt30 is a jump in characteristics.

Seems "they" still do??? What gives? And I was right in thinking it was a $50 up charge. However STC is wanting $720 for a turbo you can get other places for $639 new. Why?
