Default Would Anyone Be Interested in Garrett GT Ballistic BB Turbos?

I recently became a dealer for these turbos, and I think my prices are pretty good. I can set up a group buy if I have enough people interested. Turbos covered would be:

GT25R (uses T25 flange)
GT30 (similar to T3/04, T3 flanged, but with newer housing and wheel trims)
GT35R (also T3 flanged, supports up to around 700hp)

These turbos are all oil and water cooled, and of course, the new state of the art dual ball bearing center cartridge. As great as they are, they aint cheap. But if I get enough buyers, I can make it more affordable.

Anyone interested?

GT25R - $1450
GT30 - $1550
GT35R - $1590

If I can get more than 5 people willing to buy, you can take 10% off these prices. Also, I will include the exhaust d.p flange at no cost, but shipping is extra.

screw it, I'll do it now

The GT30, which most of you would benefit the most from



The GT35R, the big boy


and it's compressor map


and probably the least desirable to the most of you, but I'll go ahead and throw it out there just in case, the GT25R

compressor map


Again, it's 10% off, which is quite a chunk of change. If I get more than 10, I could possibly drop it lower than that. Yes, I know these turbos aren't cheap. But if you are the looking for the best turbocharger, and can accept little else, this is the turbo for you. Personally, I've already ordered my GT30 with a .82 a/r, which should achieve full boost by 4000rpm and make power to 8200 for my setup.

Anyway, just trying to help people out. If you aren't interested, no big deal, at least I try to help ya know

yes, there is, although it would pretty much be a special order. The GT25R is the largest one you can get

Would there be a large benifit to using these turbos. I am sure the quality is top notch but what kind of power differences are we talking about? Quicker spools? More efficient operation?

A quick primer on these turbos...

This is Garrett's newest design of turbos, and they are highly efficient. The housings are not your standard E or B housings, these are newly designed housings and newly designed wheels to match. The dual ball bearing center cartridge of course speeds spool time and improves efficiency by reducing parasitic loss due to friction, and also vastly improves durability. Unlike Turbonetics BB turbos, these have ball bearings on both compressor and exhaust sides. Garrett uses a center section where the bearings are encased in a cartridge, which floats in oil. This allows for a greater damping of harmonics. The GT line of ball bearing are OEM qualified, meaning they subjected these turbos to very rigorous testing - and that means unmatched reliability. The same ball bearing system's durability and reliability has been well proven in winning Indy 500 race cars and in grueling 24 hour endurance races.

What this all means to you is a decrease of spool time of 400-600rpm, and the resulting loss in friction gives an approximate gain of 2-3% in efficiency. SCC magazine wrote of these turbos "(they) will re-establish what exactly is state of the art in turbocharging" (July 2002 issue). For those of you familiar with HKS GT spec turbos, these are very similar to those, but HKS has it's own trims and specs (have a gander at their price tags on those turbos!).

Anyway, I have one buyer now for the GT35R. Anyone else interested?

I heard these turbos are absolutely sick and def well worth the money. I am running a Garrett T-25 frrom a Z mated to a HKS manifold. Do the GT-25R have standard T-2# family type flanges cause that what i have heard. I also heard boost is almost instaneous with this turbo.

only the gt25r comes with an internal wastegate. Im sure it wouldn't be a difficult task to eliminate it if that's the turbo you're looking at. The GT25R uses a standard T25 flange (they list it as a T28 but it is a t25), the others use a T3 flange.
