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 ?

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...
