Garrett GTX2867R Gen II CHRA

Garrett is well-known for their high-performance turbochargers, and the GTX2867R Gen II CHRA is a prime example of their expertise in forced induction. This is a complete turbocharger assembly, often referred to as a CHRA (Center Housing Rotating Assembly), meaning the core components like the compressor and turbine wheels, along with their housings and rotating assembly, are pre-assembled and balanced. This makes installation more straightforward compared to assembling a turbo from individual components.

The GTX2867R Gen II is built with advanced aerodynamics for improved airflow and power output. It features a dual ball bearing system, which helps reduce friction and allows the turbo to spool up faster and handle higher boost pressures more reliably than traditional journal bearing turbos. The compressor housing is designed for efficient air delivery, and the turbine housing is optimized for a balance of quick spool and top-end power. This particular model, the 836012-5008S, is a popular choice for tuners looking to significantly increase the power of their engine while maintaining good drivability.

When installing a turbocharger like this, it's crucial to ensure your engine's supporting systems are up to the task. This includes proper fuel delivery, engine management tuning, and an oil supply that meets the manufacturer's specifications for flow and cleanliness. Because this is a CHRA, it's designed to be integrated into custom turbo manifold and downpipe setups, offering flexibility for various engine builds. Always refer to Garrett's installation guidelines and consult with a professional tuner to get the most out of this high-performance component.
