The Garrett GT4508R ball bearing turbocharger is built for serious high-horsepower applications where response and top-end capacity both matter. Designed for enthusiasts pushing into four-digit horsepower territory, this unit pairs a ball bearing center section with a large-frame compressor and turbine combination to deliver the airflow needed for extreme builds. This listing is for the bare turbo core and housings only — the turbine housing pictured is not included, making it ideal for builders sourcing a custom or divided turbine housing to match their exhaust manifold setup.

Performance & Application
The GT4508R is engineered for builders chasing serious top-end power without sacrificing the quicker spool characteristics of a ball bearing center section. Its 56-trim compressor wheel and 85-trim turbine wheel combination is matched to a .69 A/R compressor housing to move the volume of air required to approach the turbo’s full horsepower potential. For builders wanting a different compressor housing footprint, a
