Founded in 1936 by Cliff Garrett, the Garrett Corporation has grown to become the world's largest turbocharger manufacturer. With manufacturing plants located in Europe, Asia, North America, and South America Garrett, now Honeywell Turbo Technologies employs over 6,000 people. Garrett has always been active in all forms of engine boosting and its involvement in racing has proven to be valuable as a development test bed for advanced design concepts. Garrett today serves many major vehicle and engine manufacturers including Audi, BMW, Daimler/Chrysler, DDC, Fiat, Ford, International Truck Co, Peugeot, Renault, Saab and Volkswagen.

Headquartered in Torrance California, Honeywell Turbo Technologies has made many turbocharger models and families through the years. The most current state-of-the-art model series is their GT line of turbochargers. Prior to the GT series' introduction in the 1990s, the "T" series was the workhorse of the OEM and aftermarket and served each market well. During the development phase of the GT design it was referred to as 'New Garrett Technology' or NGT. Over time it was shortened to GT and is now used to officially describe all of the current models now in production.
The GT series contains 45% fewer parts than the previous "T" series. The GT family also have improved aerodynamics, increased thrust load carrying capabilities, improved journal bearings that reduce shaft motion by 20%, come in both traditional journal bearing and ball bearing designs, and contain an expanded line of available trims to more accurately match turbo to engine which results in optimized engine performance. Today there are GT models that can be applied to engines from 50 H.P. to 2,000 H.P.
