The Garrett GTX2867R Gen1 dual ball bearing turbocharger is built for enthusiasts who want a direct, bolt-in upgrade path from their GT2871R without reworking the engine bay. Featuring Garrett’s advanced 10-Blade compressor wheel technology, this turbo delivers a meaningful step up in flow and response while retaining the familiar GT28 footprint. It’s the choice for builders who want more capability from their existing platform without sacrificing packaging simplicity.

Performance & Application

Built around Garrett’s dual ball bearing core and 10-Blade compressor wheel technology, the GTX2867R Gen1 is engineered to support up to 475HP while maintaining the sharp, low-inertia response ball bearing turbos are known for. The GT28-style compressor housing with built-in anti-surge machining helps extend the usable compressor map, making it a strong fit for enthusiasts pushing their GT2871R-based setup further without changing turbine housing hardware. Because it shares the same external dimensions, oil, and coolant fittings as the standard GT28/GT30R/GT35R family, it drops into existing plumbing and mounting points with no engine bay modifications required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What HP can the GTX2867R Gen1 support?

This turbo is rated to support up to 475HP.

Is this a ball bearing or journal bearing turbo?

The GTX2867R Gen1 uses a dual ball bearing design.

Does this turbo come with a turbine housing?
