Garrett G25-660 0.92 Reverse Rotation, Swain Tech coated exhaust housing.
Bought for a custom install on my 1JZ Supra. I made the mistake of not test fitting the turbo before sending the exhaust housing off to Swain Tech for their White Lightning coating. Unfortunately, it was just barely unable to fit due to my manifold design. Having been modified with the coating, I was unable to return the turbo to the vendor.
So, how is the performance? In a word, excellent. I bought a standard rotation version to suit my installation, and it is exactly what I was looking for in a turbo. Spool is very close to what the tiny stock twins did, yet this turbo doesn't fall off past 6k rpm like the twins. Average power and torque figures were roughly 80% of peak output, which translates to a very wide powerband. This is exactly what I was looking for in a turbo for autocross and track use. Throttle response is much better than my previous setup, and it pulls every bit as hard as the friends I race with who have newer V8 (think LS, Coyote, Voodoo) powered cars.
Applications I can think of off the top of my head would include Miata, Subaru, possibly transverse mounted FWD and AWD cars, V8 twin applications, sky is the limit, really. All depends on engine bay clearances and your particular requirements and mounting preferences. This just wasn't going to fit where I wanted it for my Supra, unfortunately. That said, it is a relatively small sized turbo, roughly equal to a Toyota CT26.
Brand new, never used. However, as a result of test fitting attempts, there are a few scuffs on the exhaust housing. White Lightning isn't a pretty coating, but it does a good job at keeping heat where you want it.
Will be shipped via UPS ground, signature required due to the value of the turbo. Shipping is my main career, so rest assured it will be packaged well. I will pay the shipping charges.
