Garrett PowerMax™ turbochargers have been engineered to increase engine performance while maintaining OEM installation specifications. These turbochargers come fully assembled with a calibrated electronic actuator and ancillary components for direct OEM fitment.
Garrett’s latest generation of compressor and turbine wheel technology provide maximum flow and efficiency to this turbocharger, all within the OEM footprint. The turbine wheel is constructed of Mar-M alloy rated for temperatures up to 1050°C. The stainless steel, internally wastegated turbine housing is also rated for temperatures up to 1050 °C, ensuring durability and reliability under extreme conditions.
This direct-fit turbocharger upgrade produced 520BHP (383kW) and 425ft-lb of torque (576Nm) on a conservative tune on the dyno. During flow testing, this performance turbocharger supplied +20% compressor flow, and +37% turbine flow compared to the OE turbo.
This PowerMax turbocharger has a fully machined speed sensor port, ideal for tracking your turbo speed with a data logger or in Garrett’s new G-Smart Bluetooth Module (sold separately G923586-0003).

WARNING: Maximum allowable turbocharger speed is 185krpm (Stage 1) and 165krpm (Stage 2). The use of this product above max turbocharger speed is at the owner’s risk, and can result in damage and premature failure. To protect the turbocharger from overspeed when operating, a speed sensor port is machined into the compressor housing for the fitment of speed sensor part numbers G781328-0003 (includes sensor and gauge), and G781328-0004 (includes speed sensor). Speed sensors sold separately.
