Thoughts on the accounced GBC line of Garrett turbos?
They’re journal bearing. Seems a bit pointless to me. GTX2860G2 is an excellent match for the 1.8 and it has the response of a dual ball bearing turbo. This would be a slower spooling, lower hp turbo than the GTX2860
Check out Pulsar Turbos. They have a great lineup and they stack up realllllly close to Garrett turbos for half the price. $900 will get you a G25-550 and $700 will get you a GTX2860 Gen 2. This GBC thing is gonna be more hype than performance. Journal bearing with a Gen 2 wheel and maybe a better flowing turbine wheel. Don’t expect great things. It’ll probably spool slower than the 2560 and make a little more power
