I still have it. I was just curious about this particular turbo being that it isn't on garrett's web site.
It's because it's never been a complete turbo. Back in the day, Garrett never had complete Ball Bearing turbos because they never had compressor housings or turbine housings for them. They allowed a select number of shops to do the development and testing with these Ball Bearing CHRAs. This is what we were doing in 1999 and 2000.
Over the years, Garrett has released different combinations with turbine housings and compressor housings. A lot of the time, we still have to machine our own parts to make a GTXXYYR work.
