garret gt dual ball bearing turbos
#4
Excellent turbos, the best on the market IMHO.
I have a mate that is running one (GT30/40) on a 13BT, runs 10.7 quarter and has never had a problem. Very quick spool up. Another mate has just bought a GT42 (absolute monster!!) for a 20B... it will be insane.
Dont know about this bearing changing business tho... AFAIK they are not able to be rebuilt (as yet), and nobody that i know that runs one has ever had a problem. Highly recommended!!!!

The only problem is getting them from Garrett for something close to being called affordable. I believe they're running about $2K here in the United States. The HKS series (also a Garrett) runs about the same in Japan. You can order them through www.takakaira.com. No, you don't have to replace the bearings every 10K miles. The whole concept behind a dual ball bearing cartridge is increased load-bearing capability and durability.

Yes but you OZ guys buy from that one vendor (can't remember the name off hand) that offers a "GT-like" turbo, their own version, not an actual GT series Garrett...where they do the dual ball bearing conversion I dont' know but to me it's a bit misleading, no? I want to know exaxtly what I'm getting which I do through Garrett and HKS. You get what you pay for.

We definately have the proper Garrett GT dual ball bearing turbos here in Oz... they are very easy to get hold of and the prices is not too bad either. A stack of people run them and have never ever looked back.

I have the m2 set...gt30 ballbearing twins....Ill let you know how they work out...the only complaint I have heard so far is that they smoke due to the need for a restrictor pill for oil consumption.

My turbo is genuine Garrett GT series dual ball bearing .
The "GT like" turbos being referred to are from Innovative Turbo. http://www.innovativeturbo.com/Produ...T%20Series.htm
