Garrett Copy Turbos

With Copy Turbos You’re Paying More for Less

Remanufactured VNT™ turbos: nozzle assembly made from reused components.
Original Garrett® VNT™ turbos: nozzle assembly made from top quality materials.

Auto manufacturers around the world understand the balance between cost and performance – that’s why so many choose Honeywell as their partner for engine boosting.

Every Garrett® turbo is intricately matched to exacting engine requirements in order to optimize power output, reliability, emissions control and fuel efficiency over the long term.

Research proves that copies of these highly engineered and calibrated units simply don’t deliver on performance, on fuel efficiency or on whole-life value.

  • Garrett® turbos deliver 4 times the whole-life value of copies
  • Tests prove that copy turbos deliver less power
  • Tests prove that copy turbos increase fuel consumption…and CO2

Don’t settle for second best engineering that delivers third rate results!

With Remanufactured VNT™ Turbos You’re Gambling On Your Engine Reliability

Garrett® turbos are made to meet OEM performance standards.
Garrett® turbos are designed, tested and manufactured in world-class production centers.

Millions of Garrett® VNT™ turbos operate around the world–they are highly complex units, engineered and calibrated to meet the exacting performance parameters of automotive manufacturers. They deliver optimum performance and ensure high reliability.

Any attempt at remanufacturing, using substitute parts, is fraught with difficulty because of the turbo’s technical complexities, leading to potentially serious problems, such as:

  • Conflict with the engine management systems
  • Low flow/pressure, causing poor response, poor overall performance and increased emissions
  • Over-rich diesel fuel/air mix, causing excessively high temperatures, damaging both the turbo and the engine
  • High flow/pressure, leading to the over-speeding of the turbo, wheel bursting and damage to turbo and engine
  • Excessive boost pressure, causing physical damage to the engine
