Garrett 848212-5001S Chevrolet/GMC 6.6L Duramax LMM/LLY/LBZ Turbocharger

Good turbo. Went right in.Word of advice. If you buy a billet wheel for this turbo you’ll need a LMM style wheel. My turbo that I got was the LMM style and I couldn’t use my LBZ wheel so I had to buy another billet wheel. Check before installing your turbo so you know what you’ve got. Don’t know if they did away with LBZ and earlier year style turbo housing. But all in all works good.

Great price on an OEM turbo and even had vane position sensor included.

Turbo arrived in timely manor. Packageing for shipment excellent.Was installed by quailified mechanic on my 2007 GMC 2500 Classic, 6.6 Duramax.

Brand new , works as should.

Turbo was very well packaged.I purchased with reservations that being from a "None Diesel Shop" I would be disappointed.I have to say that the install was a pain because of the design of the engine. But ended up very well!I added a Fleece remote oil feed. That way the turbo was not sharing oil with the cam. Also a 3" down pipe.So far So good!

The turbo itself so far is 5 stars. *****Works great,went right in,and spooled right up when I cranked up the truck for the first time.Now the reason for the low stars is I cannot rate packaging and the listing separately.The 2 problems I have are,First, the packaging was absolutely HORRIBLE. Whoever decided to ship such a heavy item in such a flimsy box should be fired. By the time it was delivered it was re-taped a few times and the foam packaging that was in the box had been so badly smashed and broken up that it was in every port in the turbo seeing that every cap had fallen off of the openings. it took me probably 30 minutes to get al the foam out of the turbo before I installed it.Second, and this one is more a technicality but it was frustrating. The turbo has 3 banjo bolts on it to make it work, 1 for the oil and 2 for the coolant. Upon removing the oil line from the turbo the oil banjo bolt broke, that didn't make me feel to good about reusing the other factory bolts. The description says that it comes with "banjo bolt" which I guess was not technically incorrect as it did come with 1 banjo bolt (unfortunately for me not the oil bolt), but that left me searching for the other two seeing that they were not available even from GM. When it said it came with banjo bolt I assumed it came with all of them required to make the turbo work not just a single random bolt. Just be advised that the turbo I received only came with the upper of the two coolant bolts and not the lower coolant bolt or the oil inlet bolt.

The sensor was damaged. The vein sensor to the turbo

I was not sure about ordering a turbo off amazon. But there was a phone number, and I called the seller before ordering to make sure it was the right one and also to make sure it was new. The seller was very helpful and everything about the turbo worked out great. It was also boxed and packed very well. I would order from them again.
