I've seen that Garrett is releasing(has already? If so got link?) drop-in replacement center sections for people who have journal bearing T-series or even other hybrid turbos, hopefully including Turbonetics.

Price will dictate whether this is worth it or not if your turbo is in good condition, however it sounds like a great step up if your turbo has some miles on it.

 

thanks for the info! Have you heard/seen any prices?

 

No, but let me know if you do.

However, since they show it with comp/turb wheels included, I'm sure it won't be cheap. Hopefully, this is a way to upgrade to GT-wheels also.

 

Also, check out ATPturbo.com, they have a bit of info.

However, looks like only T3/T4 conversions.
