Garrett Powermax GT3788V Stage 1 Turbocharger Part # 886976-5004S | 2011–2016 LML Duramax
Unlock more power from your 2011–2016 LML Duramax with the Garrett PowerMax GT3788V Stage 1 Turbocharger (886976-5004S). This premium direct-replacement upgrade is engineered to bolt in using factory mounting points, lines, and electronics—no major modifications required.
Garrett designed this Stage 1 PowerMax with a larger 65mm inducer forged, fully-machined compressor wheel that flows 19% more air than the factory turbo. The result is stronger mid-range response, better overall efficiency, and the ability to support up to 600 wheel horsepower when paired with proper supporting modifications and custom tuning.
Key engineering advantages include:
- Patented compressor and turbine aero that helps keep drive pressures and EGTs in check even under load
- Ball-bearing CHRA for quicker spool-up, improved durability, and the ability to handle higher boost levels compared to the stock journal-bearing design
- Outline-interchangeable with OE hardware for a perfect fit every time
- Retains full factory VGT functionality for excellent drivability whether you’re daily driving, towing, or building for performance
Whether you’re looking for stronger towing capability, quicker throttle response, or a solid foundation for a tuned truck, the Garrett Powermax GT3788V Stage 1 is one of the most popular and trusted drop-in turbo upgrades for the LML platform.
