Performance & Application
Built around Garrett’s GTW Series platform, this turbo is engineered for performance builds targeting significant horsepower gains while retaining the ball bearing core’s characteristic quick response. The T4 undivided housing and 3″ V-band outlet configuration make it well suited to builds already running T4-based exhaust manifolds and V-band downpipe setups. Its 900 HP potential flow places it firmly in the competition and high-output street/strip category, with the .81 A/R standard housing tuned for a strong balance of response and top-end power. Builders wanting a slightly different spool and top-end characteristic can opt for the .96 A/R alternative.
