TTE Turbo Question

Anonymous · April 9, 2006, 18:24

I've searched, but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for. I found out the turbo used in the TTE kit is a Garrett watercooled type, but I'm interested in knowing what turbo model it is.

Can anyone help me out ? s:? :? s:?

Thanks !

It's a Garrett Type TB2559

Thank you s:)

I found this regarding this turbo type:

Part number Aplication C.H.R.A. Service kit A/R
452083-0001 SAAB 443854-0055 709143-0001 0,49

Is it commonly used in SAAB aplications ?

Does anyone know what flange this turbo shares design with ?

I suspect the '2559' would be the Garrett designation there - making it a GT2559(R) (carrying the R if it's a ball bearing centre cartridge), so it should have a 53mm exhaust turbine and 59mm compressor wheel (I believe the Hass kit uses a GT2560R as standard, and RS as an upgrade - though they're referred to by the old numbers, GT28R and GT28RS).

I believe, based on that, it should have a T3 flange.

Silverstone Performance ought to be able to confirm that, given the number they've handled.

pretty sure thats what they told me it was Aaron, but just as a note the turbo flange is different from the manifold flange, Steve said this would be an obvious point for porting
