What is the main advantage of the dual ball bearing CHRA in this turbocharger?

The dual ball bearing Center Housing Rotating Assembly (CHRA) significantly reduces friction within the turbo. This leads to quicker spool-up times, meaning the turbo starts generating boost at lower RPMs, and also contributes to improved durability over traditional journal bearing systems.

What type of exhaust manifold is typically used with a T25 inlet turbocharger?

A T25 turbine inlet flange is common on many smaller turbochargers and is often found on exhaust manifolds designed for compact applications or specific engine types. It's important to ensure your manifold has the correct T25 flange to mate with this turbocharger.

Does this turbocharger come with an oil feed and drain line?

This turbocharger is sold as the unit itself. It is recommended to purchase appropriate oil feed and drain lines separately, ensuring they meet the specifications required for proper lubrication and cooling of the dual ball bearing CHRA.

Product Details

The Garrett GBC17-250 Club Line turbocharger features a 0.50 A/R compressor housing, offering a good balance for improved airflow without excessive lag on many smaller displacement engines. This unit is built with a T25 turbine inlet and a 5-bolt exhaust outlet, making it a popular choice for compact builds and custom turbo setups where space is a consideration. The internal wastegate is pre-set to help control boost levels, simplifying installation compared to external wastegate setups.

Garrett has incorporated a dual ball bearing CHRA (Center Housing Rotating Assembly) into this turbocharger. This advanced bearing system significantly reduces friction compared to journal bearing setups, leading to quicker spool times and improved durability. The compressor wheel is designed for efficient airflow, and the turbine wheel is matched to complement the compressor for optimal performance across a usable RPM range. This turbocharger is intended for performance applications where increased horsepower and torque are desired, and it's a well-known option within the Club Line series for its blend of performance and reliability.

When installing this turbocharger, ensure all oil and coolant lines are properly flushed and connected to prevent contamination or overheating. It's crucial to have a proper tuning solution in place to take full advantage of the turbocharger's capabilities and to protect your engine. Please note that this turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult the manufacturer's installation guide for specific details and recommendations.
