I love a good mystery & that was the question I wanted to know so before I posted this, as a courtesy I tracked down the owner of the GNX that it originally came off. Since long ago it had been converted to a race car the owner had no interest in it. It is an original GNX turbo & rare to say the least. Any more information than this will be provided to the buyer. It is a rare find & hard to come by part in excellent condition & any fair offers will be considered.

The GNX had a unique turbo identified by it's ceramic impellers & special exhaust housing. Each turbo had a serial number that was assigned to a specific number car. Many owners removed the original turbo & substituted another less valuable one that was used & the original stored away for safe keeping because of the collector value of the car. Without all the correct parts the GNX is worth much less.

Thanks for explaining i always heard there was a difference in turbos on the GNX but never confirmed it until now!

What a GNX turbo looks like. Very similar in looks to a stock one with the exception of the exhaust housing shape. No other turbo has that housing but the GNX to my knowledge. The difference in the wheels aren't as visible.

Only the GNX turbo had the debris trap built into the turbine housing. This was done to help eliminate damage to the ceramic turbine wheel. I memory serves me correctly the A/R of the turbine housing is different also. The larger A/R reduced backpressure and was good for a few more H.P. In concert with the ceramic turbine wheel which has less mass the spool up was about the same as a stock turbo. I believe the compressor wheel and housing are the same ones used on a stock GN turbo.

Was wheel ceramic all the way, or coated? Fully ceramic seems scary!
