Garrett turbochargers are the most reliable turbos in the world, they are also the largest manufacturer.
Also, if you are referring to APS, those are hybrid turbos, not a standard off-the shelf Garrett so I wouldn't compare them, even then the older APS kits have proven to be very reliable overall (although some have had issues unfortunately, but Garrett is not to blame.)
Also keep in mind that an improperly installed turbocharger will lead to premature failure.
Garrett FTMFW!

I haven't seen that many of these kits at all. I know boostintt, Andy, and I have them now, as well as the HKS demo car. Is there really anyone else?

Garrett doesn't build cars and Mitsubishi turbochargers are far from the best, the best would be an IHI turbocharger - although expensive.

People overseas still use Mitsu turbos. I agree that the design is old, but many race companies still prefer Mitsu turbos of Garrett.
Hks tt kit. What do you think?
