Yes, Garrett built a T5. Huge great thing, size of a planet and doesn't even start to spin until something like 4500rpm. Strictly for racing cars, although Power Engineering put one on a Greek guy's road car years back. I went in it when it only running about 380bhp and it shit the life out of me (2.4 block, Grp A head etc etc). Was running well over 500 brake when it was done.

Best of my knowlege Garrett NEVER made a turbo called T5, ever.

T4 series goes way beyond the specs that people who claim to have "T5s" have, just bullshit and/or people making up new names for their turbos.

And Volvo T5s got ownt to do with it ginge, you belive a small engined volvo with just over 200bhp has got a huge turbo on?

Oh, Volvo T5s used Mitsubishi TD05s which are smaller than T3s...

Find me some info (ie from Garett not some bollocks someones spouting) on a T5 turbo then and il shut up...

Heres a good quote from a website tho
Firstly there is no such thing as a T5 turbocharger manufactured by Garrett or Air-Research

Hmmm (again).

I'd be interested to hear the facts now ! I was always under the impression that the T5 did exist (as per my previous post).

Anyone prove either way for sure ?

Look anywhere with big lists of Garrett compressor maps, 100s of turbos? Any T5s? NO.

They dont exist apart from in the minds of bullshitters and people who have belived em.

Ive heard once that the Oldsmobile Jetfire Turbo had a T5, but only seen that written once, ever...

And heres the pics of the turbo setup on one...

Even if there was a turbo called a T5 in the 60s, itd make even a RS500 T4 look like a modern design, and thats a load of shit today...
