Considered a Classic: Garrett GT-R Turbocharger
Garrett is one of the best and most famous manufacturers of high-quality turbochargers. Turbos from the Garrett GT-R series are considered something of a classic. The “R” in the name means that the turbo is equipped with a ball bearing on the main shaft. Ball bearings ensure that the rotating equipment revs up quicker. This, in turn, means you achieve a better response with the same charger geometry in comparison to slide bearings. The required boost is built up much faster. Unlike other manufacturers, Garrett is very transparent when it comes to information on the compressor and turbine maps. So you can optimize the performance of your car to perfection and achieve maximum performance!

Important Notes for the Installation of Garrett GT-R Chargers
There are some things you ought to know when installing a turbocharger. On account of the ball bearings, you should always have an oil restrictor when driving a GT-R. This is because bearings and gaskets are not designed for the same oil pressure. When installing a turbocharger, you should always replace the oil feed lines and drainage lines since they might be clogged. Another good idea is to put in a new air filter for your turbocharger. This way, the turbo always has enough fresh air and can unfold its full performance potential. Since the turbocharger is driven by the exhaust gas, you also should replace all gaskets that are involved here. A leaking gasket can result in huge problems if it is not eliminated in time.
