In commercial industries where uptime and efficiency are critical, turbocharger technology plays a pivotal role in ensuring engines perform reliably, efficiently, and cost-effectively. At Tru-Marine, we are proud to bring Garrett’s advanced wastegate and free-floating turbochargers to Southeast Asia and Taiwan — engineered to meet the high demands of on- and off-highway commercial applications.
From light-duty vehicles to heavy mining equipment, generator sets, marine engines, and locomotives, Garrett’s portfolio spans one of the widest turbocharger ranges in the industry — from GT12 to GT70 — covering engines from 1L up to 110L.
Why Wastegate and Free-Floating Turbochargers?
Wastegate turbochargers support engines ranging from 1L to 64L and offer more flexibility in controlling boost pressure by bypassing exhaust gases when needed. This makes them ideal for variable load cycles and engines that require fine control in diverse conditions.
Free-floating turbochargers, on the other hand, are optimized for larger engines (64L–110L) and rely heavily on the engine manufacturer’s strategy to regulate performance. While they lack the adjustable wastegate mechanism, they are incredibly robust and efficient in steady-load conditions — perfect for equipment like gensets.
