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.
