Hey Guys,

I’m thinking about selling my current setup.

I have made over 300whp and 300wtq with this turbo on my S14.  
It’s actually rated to 360hp or so.

It’s Great.  
It is currently in my car and pulls like a Champ.

I have run this turbo for 2 years and overall, love the instant power and response that I get from it.  
I’ve run this turbo with stock injectors (low boost), 444, 550’s and 740’s.

That’s why this is an IC.  
I will also gladly keep the turbo since it is so AWESOME.

Here is the link to the Garett site. It is the .64 Turbine housing.

I’m looking to sell the whole Lot:

Cast SR Stock Manifold (not one in pic)  
5 Layer Turbo Gasket - Rareish gasket.  
BB GT2860  
All turbo Elbows  
Wastegate  
All Banjo bolts  
Braided Coolant lines  
Hard oil line  
Megan 02 housing - 6mth’s old (not one in pic)

Like I said, it’s still currently in the car

Pretty much BOLT on HP upgrade for your car.  
Full Spool at 3500RPM or so.

Why am I selling? I’m really looking to pop a GT30 on my car.

Looking for $800 for the setup.

I have a Pic of the actual turbo, and still pretty much looks the same.

If you are interested PM me. I don’t check my email often but it’s : boost.yaw AT G [Mail.com](http://Mail.com)

If you are tire kicking please don’t waste both of our time.

If you are serious and have the Cash in hand, you are welcome to come by and check it out before you buy.

Located in Richmond Hill.

Thanks

I’ve been for a ride in that car and it pulls hard and strong right through. Nice turbo.

^ THANKS!

And that was when it was slow due to boost leaks!

Anyhow, just pulled the turbo out.  
It’s currently on the bench.

Also willing to part just with the Turbo and lines. Feel free to PM.

^ I run a stockish ECU…

UPDATE:

SO after much deliberation, a few beers and some late nights - I’ve gone ahead and bought a new turbo. 😉

I am officially putting this up for sale.

Upon doing further research and measurements, we discovered that the turbo IS A GT2560. NOT a Disco as I thought.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??

Well, the two turbo’s are very similar. It is actually rated to 330hp.

[http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT25/GT2560R\_466541\_1.htm](http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT25/GT2560R_466541_1.htm)

It has a smaller Turbine wheel than the 2860, hence why the quick spool.  
Same compressor wheel  
Still Dual Ball Bearing

Looking to sell as a package:  
Cast SR Stock Manifold (turbo still bolted to manifold)  
5 Layer Turbo Gasket - Rareish gasket.  
BB GT2560 w/Wastegate  
Braided Coolant lines  
Hard oil line

If you have an S13, you’ll need to re-clock your stock elbows.  
If you have an S14, you bolt them up to this turbo.

Now looking for $600 for the package.

Pm’s are best

Thanks

No discernable shaft play to be had.

You are welcome to inspect it before purchase.

Still have this.

I have had a few calls and inquiries but nothing serious.

Pretty much instant JAM for you guys on stock turbos.

this is an amazing turbo, so is the gt2860rs but that also comes in 2 flavors 0.64 A/R and 0.86 A/R just like the beloved gt2871r but a bit quicker on spool and less top end power. For street the S15 dual ball bearing turbo is the best and for this price, well you cant go wrong because a new one would easily run $900 then gaskets, turbo lines etc. Good luck with your sale 😃
