ah told ya i din kno shit about turbos haha

ceeebz waiting aroudn for a potentially good condition/farked condition turbo just gonna go new at least i know it shouldnt die on me

[funkymonkey]

All turbo's are made by Garrett companies just put their name on it

Kinda. HKS 2530's have a different spec bearing and actuator bodies etc. Same with the GT RS, you can get an equivalent Garrett model, but you'd be slumming it.

ceeebz waiting aroudn

if you ever post the word ceebz or any variant of it, I'll personally ban you.

Hehe!

So in that case did HKS actually make their own turbo or did they just get a Garrett turbo and install their own bearing and actuator bodies?

Fairly sure Garrett make them to HKS's specs and then brand and package it all up for them.

kinda like paying for a Cartier watch direct from the US instead of rolling into an Aus store?

Cool thanks for that info!

no cos it's still the same Cartier watch. If you bought a Cartier Rotonde Skeleton with a flying tourbillon for $130,000 (HKS 2530) instead of a regular Cartier Rotonde $40,000 (Garrett 2530) that would be a fair comparison.

How does one make enough to spend close to 180K on cars at aged 22 working at AAMI?

Genuine question..Not trying to starting anything or accuse you of anything..

[paulr33]

garrett make turbochargers for HKS and HKS have a special exclusive offer contract from garrett

this means HKS can make up a spec with whatever they like and get garrett to build and garrett are not allowed to sell it

so you can't buy a GT-RS exactly the same from garrett, as HKS have exclusive rights on the wheels, trims, specs, etc

you can get very close, but not the exact same turbocharger from garrett or a garrett reseller

so you cant buy a garrett GT-RS or 2530 or 2540 or 3037s

tourbillons are still included in some expensive modern watches as a novelty and demonstration of watchmaking virtuosity

i think i'll stick to my pov-spec garrett brah
