I have spent some time looking on the Garrett site for the rpm range at which the tubo compressor spins, but no luck.

Does anyone know how many rpms?

I would imagine its around 0-15k or maybe 0-25k rpms



Just to make this clear. I am not looking for how many motor rpms it takes to spin the fan.

 

This is all dependent on how much boost you are running. Are asking how much it spins at the turbos max efficiency? I believe the concept is; the more boost, the faster the turbo spins to push more air until it is out of its' efficiency and starts to push hot air there by increasing air charge temps.

thanks for the quick reply.

Can you give me a ballpark figure for the stock configuration/settings?

 

Here is the compressor map for the big 16G. It shows you the Compressor RPM based on Pressure Ratio vs Air Flow

The flyer that came with my IX said 150,000 RPM.

 

its probably spinning more then that at idle....
i was told it spins about 150,000 rpm on stock boost level

 

Correct, this is what is also in the IX brochure.

S2000, eat your heart out... 150k rpm, baby
