Many say XS power, SS autochrome, and Mountain racing turbos are junk. I can not say first hand. I do know I would not trust a turbo company that flat out lies about being ball bearing. They are just standerd bronze oil "bushings" just like a main bearing in a engine.

(they are somthing like 12-1500 bucks right??)

there is a smaller one with the following specs:

T04E TURBOCHARGER

3\" INLET DIAMETER

2\" OUTLET

WET FLOATING BALL BEARINGS

.57 COMPRESSOR WHEEL TRIM

.60 A/R COMPRESSOR

.63 A/R TURBINE

is that too small?? and how can a ball bearing turbo only cost 500 bucks?
