What is a 'Super Core' turbocharger?

A 'Super Core' refers to the central rotating assembly of a turbocharger, including the compressor and turbine wheels, their shafts, and the center housing. It's designed to be paired with specific turbine housings and other custom components to build a complete turbo system tailored to an application.

What does 'Low Boost Act' mean on this turbocharger?

The 'Low Boost Act' designation indicates that the wastegate actuator is pre-set to control lower boost pressures. This can simplify setup for engines and applications that do not require very high boost levels.

What else do I need to install this turbocharger on my vehicle?

Installing this super core requires a custom turbo manifold, a compatible turbine housing, intake and exhaust piping, an intercooler system, and potentially fuel system and ECU tuning upgrades to safely support the increased airflow and power.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Garrett GT2860RS Super Core, a compact and well-regarded turbocharger assembly designed for custom forced induction builds. It's often chosen by enthusiasts looking to upgrade their vehicle's performance with a reliable and responsive turbocharger. The 'Super Core' designation means it's the central rotating assembly and housing, ready to be paired with specific turbine housings and other components to create a complete turbo system tailored to your needs.

The GT2860RS is known for its quick spooling characteristics, making it a great option for smaller displacement engines or applications where immediate throttle response is desired. This particular version features a low boost actuator, pre-set for lower boost pressures, which can simplify installation and tuning for certain setups. Its small frame size also aids in fitting it into tighter engine bays. The core itself is built with Garrett's reputation for durability and performance, using robust materials to handle the stresses of boosted operation.

When building a custom turbo system around a super core like this, you'll need to select the appropriate turbine housing to match your engine's displacement and desired powerband. You'll also need to source or fabricate the necessary intake piping, exhaust manifold, intercooler piping, and fuel system upgrades to support the increased airflow and combustion. This Garrett GT2860RS Super Core is a solid foundation for a high-performance turbo build, offering a blend of responsiveness and power potential.
