PRODUCT DETAILS
GrimmSpeed OVERTAKE BB500 Turbocharger: Turbocharged Excellence
This is GrimmSpeed's new OVERTAKE BB500 Turbocharger and it is another powerful turbocharger designed by Chase Trogan who is a senior engineer at GrimmSpeed. The Overtake Ball-Bearing 500-Series Turbocharger takes the same formula as the GrimmSpeed CHASE JB400, but improves on the design with a faster spool, and increased airflow. This turbocharger features a larger 55lb compressor wheel, along with a massive 60mm turbine wheel. This will allow the engine to breathe easier at higher RPMs. By combining slick aero wheel designs and a dual ceramic ball-bearing center cartridge, GrimmSpeed was able to achieve a quicker spool when compared to the CHASE JB400 turbocharger by 150 RPMs.
Unmatched Performance and Power Retention:
The OVERTAKE BB500 will stay in the powerband after shifts and holds substantially more power when compared to the stock turbocharger to redline. It produces +129 horsepower and 109 ft/lbs of torque than a tuned stock STI turbocharger when research and testing had been performed on GrimmSpeed's STI on E85 with simple tuning and fuel modifications. Vehicles with cams, a built engine, and other major modifications will certainly see larger gains. This turbocharger is very competitively priced in the market when compared to other turbochargers in the same size and power category, and it is a direct mount fitment.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Compressor Wheel Size (Inducer / Exducer): 55.1mm / 74.6mm with a 54 trim
- Turbine Wheel Size (Inducer / Exducer): 60mm / 55.1mm, 84 trim
- Compressor Flow: 55 lb/min
- Compressor Wheel Construction: Billet 2618 alloy
- Compressor Housing Construction: A356 alloy
- Turbine Housing Construction: D5S alloy
- Bearing Type: Ceramic ball-bearing design featuring silver-plated 4340 bearing cages
- Compressor A/R: 0.65
- Turbine A/R: 0.88
- Very robust and reliable at high boost levels and in race applications
- Dual-piston rings and advanced oil flinger design to combat oil leakage and CHRA pressurization
- Wastegate actuator will come pre-set to 15 psi
- This turbocharger was able to produce 440 WHP and 460 WTQ on GrimmSpeed's Stage 3 2020 STI with tuning and fuel upgrades
- Ideal for daily drivers that demand more power
- Durable enough for track-dedicated race cars
- Will include new gaskets, fluid lines, and hardware for the installation

WHY WE CARRY THIS
We only list parts we’d run ourselves or recommend to a friend building a real car. If it feels vague, unverified, or inconsistent, it doesn’t make the cut.

- Brand reputation matters — we favor proven manufacturing
- Support that actually responds with real answers
WHAT TO EXPECT
This is the clean path: correct fitment, clean install, and results that match the intent.
- Install-ready experience with correct mounting where provided
- Finish that holds up to real driving, not just photos
- Selections on this page drive the exact fitment shipped
TRUST, BUILT INTO THE PROCESS.
Anyone can list parts. We curate what belongs on a serious build. Our goal is simple: fewer surprises, cleaner installs, and confidence when you hit “Buy.”
Fitment checked
We prioritize vehicle-specific listings and clear selection logic so you’re not gambling on compatibility.

Proven manufacturing and consistent quality matter more than hype. We bias toward what actually holds up.
Real support
If you have a question, you’ll get a human answer that helps you finish the build — not a copy-paste shrug.
