The Garrett GTX2860R Gen1 dual ball bearing turbo is built for enthusiasts chasing quicker spool and stronger top-end pull without swapping out their existing GT2860RS housing setup. Featuring Garrett’s advanced 10-Blade compressor wheel technology, this turbo is the right choice for builders who want a drop-in upgrade path with proven Garrett engineering behind it. It’s designed for those who already understand GT28-platform hardware and want to extract more performance from a familiar footprint.

Performance & Application

This GTX2860R is engineered to bolt into the same physical space as a GT2860RS, meaning no engine bay modifications are required to fit it in place. It shares the same oil and coolant fitting configuration as the standard GT28/GT30R/GT35R turbo family, simplifying installation for anyone upgrading from a GT28-series turbo. The anti-surge machining built into the GT28-style compressor housing helps extend the usable range of the compressor map, making this a strong option for builders pushing higher boost while still wanting responsive, streetable characteristics. Because the turbine housing is sold separately and matches the GT2860RS 53.86mm 76-trim turbine wheel setup, this turbo is ideal for owners looking to upgrade their compressor-side performance while retaining familiar turbine-side hardware
