GT2871R Dual Ball Bearing Turbocharger

The Garrett GT2871R turbocharger, part number 472560-15, is engineered for enthusiasts seeking enhanced engine performance. This unit utilizes a dual ball bearing system, which significantly reduces friction for quicker spool times and extended operational life compared to traditional journal bearing turbos. The CHRA (Center Housing Rotating Assembly) is both oil and water-cooled, ensuring stable temperatures under high-load conditions and preventing premature wear. Key features of this GT2871R model include an internally wastegated turbine housing for precise boost control, and it comes complete with an actuator. The compressor wheel diameter is 53mm, and it has a 2-bolt inlet, making it a versatile option for various performance builds. The GT2871R is known for its efficient design, offering a considerable improvement in airflow and response over older turbo technologies.
