Garrett Advantage / Technology Since 1954 Garrett's team of engineers continuously strive to bring the best technical product to the industry. Today Garrett's team of over 500 engineers are working worldwide to further enhance Garrett's ability to meet demanding engine needs.
The Garrett Performance team is bringing Garrett’s turbocharging technology to you for use in your applications. The Garrett Performance Product Catalog incorporates the technology utilized in today’s modern engines.
Aerodynamics:
New compressor and turbine wheel blade designs have improved the overall efficiency of both sides of the turbocharger.
The result: the engine spools up to boost quicker and reduces losses in the engine system (i.e. your engine does not have to work as hard for the same boost level).
GT Product Line:
The Garrett GT product line has expanded to include:
Engines from less than one liter to 10 liters with a range from 50 Hp to 2000 Hp Increased thrust bearing capacity Part count reduction resulting in higher durability GT products use the latest aerodynamics Separate backplates allow the user to upgrade the compressor without changing the center housing Proven Performance:

Garrett History The heritage of the turbo business began in 1936 when young Cliff Garrett formed his company in a tiny, one-room office in Los Angeles. With encouragement and financial support from friends like Jack Northrop and Harry Wetzel, plus $5,000 he borrowed on his own, Garrett founded the company that would later become the Garrett Corporation. Number of employees: 1. Number of customers: 1.
Today, that business couldn't be more different. Over time, the turbocharging business spun off to establish itself as a serious player in the engine boosting industry. Garrett product is produced by over 6,000 employees and serves the leading global engine and vehicle manufacturers, including Audi, BMW, DaimlerChrysler, DDC, Fiat, Ford, International Truck Co, Peugeot, Renault, Saab and Volkswagen.
Through names such as AiResearch, AlliedSignal, and the Honeywell of today, Garrett has sustained its reputation for revolutionizing turbocharger technologies generation after generation. From its long list of industry firsts to its leading-edge patented dual-ball bearing turbos for high performance vehicles, Garrett develops and manufactures the same cutting-edge boosting expertise that goes into all Garrett products. The fact that Garrett ® turbochargers are the preferred choice of leading original equipment manufacturers and many top race teams in CART, World Rally, American Le Mans, 24 Hours of Le Mans, and Pikes Peak is a telling example.
Today, Garrett continues to redefine the art and science of boosting technology with advanced air management systems for the full spectrum of modern engines. With over 30,000 turbos produced EVERY DAY, you know the Garrett name is one you can trust.
