Hi Disco

Some good information in there but this article seems to have been re-writing Garrett spiel.

gives GTX turbos a huge leap in performance.

Have they really?

The GTX Series turbos feature ported shroud compressor housings, ported shrouds give a wider surge margin, this means that the compressor map is offset to the right.

Yeah sure the comp housing is a portshrouded casting but it looks like it is completely shrouded by the metal that hasn't been removed.

I agree....sounds like it was written by Garrett's PR dept.

It says that the source for the article is Turbobygarrett at the bottom of page 5.

Interesting, not sure I'm ready to upgrae from my 3076R just yet.
