Insist on Garrett

Every Garrett® turbo distributed through the global Aftermarket meets the specification demanded by the original car and truck manufacturer.

Performance & Reliability

Meeting specifications demanded.

Genuine Garrett

When it’s time to replace your car’s turbocharger, don’t take risks. When your turbocharger is spinning at 300,000 rpm, and operating up to 1050 degrees Celsius, almost the same isn’t good enough.

Press Release

Accept No Substitute

Same performance, same intricate calibration and same whole-life advantages – but with none of the risks associated with the poor- quality copy turbos that are sold around the world as supposed substitutes.

Recent product analysis undertaken by Garrett – Advancing Motion, comparing original quality Garrett turbos with remanufactured VNT™ turbos using non-original components and copy turbos, shows that its market-leading Garrett turbos deliver significantly better whole-life value than lower-cost non-genuine alternatives when taking into account reliability, performance, fuel efficiency and longevity.

COPY CONCERNS
Some copy turbos fail literally within hours of installation – and the effects can be catastrophic. While bearing problems are most commonplace, the bolts joining the turbine housing to the center housing are also known to ‘relax’, leading to gas leakage, mechanical damage and oil leakage that can in turn contaminate the catalytic converter or the DPF system.

REMANUFACTURE RISKS
Any attempt at VNT turbo remanufacture, using non-genuine substitute parts and different processes than those ones from the Turbo manufacturer, is equally fraught with difficulty and can lead to potentially serious problems, including:

Conflict with the Engine Management System
Too low flow/pressure
causing poor response, poor overall performance and increased emissions
Over-rich Diesel fuel/air mix
causing excessively high temperatures, damaging both the turbo and the engine
Too high low/pressure
leading to the over-speeding of the turbo, wheel bursting and damage to turbo and engine
Excessive boost pressure
causing physical damage to the engine
