Garrett Turbocharger

I've been on my aux fueled 2867r/2 for around 4 or 5 years and more than 60k miles including several road trips >5000 miles. No big issues so far, just don't beat on it.

Pros: long-term reliable, no big issues
Mileage: 60000 km

Besides changing spark plugs more often, nothing really different than stock unless you're beating the ever living p out of it. Have had a 2867r gen 2 installed for a 3 or 4 years now. Only put about 20k miles on it because I drive my mustang when there's no salty roads.

Pros: reliable, similar to stock
Cons: requires more spark plug changes
Mileage: 20000 km

I'd rate it just under OEM. They're perfectly fine, just make sure you follow the oil priming procedure.

Pros: perfectly fine
Cons: just under OEM

Garrett Turbocharger

I have this turbo on my 2014 Ckra Passat. No joke it can run a sub 5 second 0-60. I guarantee I could run a 4.9, not saying that’s insane but for a 240hp diesel Passat, it’s beating a lot of cars that make more power. It’s a torque thing, I think this gtc1556vz can push 400 torque maximum. Which I have all the mods other than having stock cp4 and stock injectors. Injectors aren’t needed for upgrade at this power level, but I could definitely use the hpfp cp3 conversion. But even without the cp3 conversion, this setup is definitely insane for what it is.

Pros: sub 5 second 0-60, high torque, insane performance
Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat
Part number: GTC1556VZ

Had a gt28rs on a d16z6. Made 205 on 8 psi and started spooling very early. Torque was very linear. Never got a chance to turn it up before one of the main bearings lunched itself.

Pros: early spooling, linear torque
Cons: main bearings failed
Vehicle: Honda
Part number: GT28RS

OEM BMW Turbocharger

On my 2023 M240i, I noticed a metallic rattle when idle, followed by huge power loss and a loud whining sound. BMW confirmed the turbo is dead. It is being fully replaced under warranty. They found play in the turbine, cause unknown. The turbo itself cost $6,700, with total repair at $10.7k including labor and parts like coolant lines and a new wastegate actuator.

Pros: replaced under warranty
Cons: metallic rattle, huge power loss, turbo dead, play in turbine
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 43452 km
