Performance & Application
The GT4508R is designed for extreme boost applications where sustained high-horsepower output is the goal. With its 108mm/80mm compressor wheel paired to an 87mm turbine wheel, this turbo is built to move serious air for builds targeting the upper limits of horsepower. The 1.01 A/R divided T4 turbine housing helps manage exhaust pulse separation for improved efficiency in high-output setups, while the compact 42 footprint keeps the unit’s turbine housing dimensions manageable relative to its massive flow potential. This is a top-end power turbo suited to dedicated high-horsepower platforms rather than daily-driven or stock-displacement applications.
