Garrett GTX5518R 88MM Ball Bearing Turbo with Sensor

The Garrett GTX5518R 88MM Ball Bearing Turbocharger is a high-performance forced-induction solution designed for demanding racing and high-power applications. Combining an 88MM compressor wheel, advanced ball-bearing center housing technology, and an included sensor, this turbocharger provides a strong foundation for serious performance builds.

The GTX series is engineered with performance-focused compressor and turbine technology to support high airflow requirements while maintaining the precision and durability expected from a premium Garrett turbocharger. The 88MM compressor configuration makes this turbo particularly suitable for applications where substantial airflow is required to support elevated horsepower targets.

One of the key features of the GTX5518R is its ball-bearing center housing. Compared with conventional journal-bearing designs, a properly engineered ball-bearing system is intended to reduce friction and provide responsive turbocharger operation. This makes the GTX5518R an attractive option for builders looking for a combination of high-flow capability and responsive forced induction.

The turbocharger also comes with a sensor, providing an additional component for monitoring or integration into an appropriately configured engine-management system. Proper installation and sensor compatibility should be confirmed before purchase.
