Garrett G-Series G50-1700 80mm Turbocharger

The G-Series G50-1700 80mm pairs Garrett's GTX Gen II compressor aerodynamics with a G-Series turbine wheel in a one-piece lightweight aluminum center housing and backplate. It is outline-interchangeable with GTX Gen II turbos of the same frame, and the stainless steel T6 inlet turbine housings are sold as the variants below.

Garrett rates the G-Series G50-1700 80mm for 875 to 1,700 horsepower on 2.5 to 11.0 liter engines.

Turbine Housing Options

Each turbine housing is listed by A/R (area-to-radius ratio), inlet flange, outlet and wastegate type. "Internal" housings have a built-in wastegate; "External" housings are free-float designs that require an external wastegate.

Important Information

Garrett calculates its horsepower ratings from the compressor map choke flow, which represents the potential flywheel horsepower of the turbo. Actual results depend on the engine, supporting modifications and calibration.

Garrett sets the maximum allowable speed for this turbo at 102,500 rpm. Operating above that speed can damage the turbo and cause premature failure. A turbo speed sensor (sold separately) lets you monitor shaft speed.

For race vehicles only. Not for use on public roads.
