I don't mind some of the non moving parts XS power & SS autochrome sells like intercoolers or maybe even a BOV but when bearings and shafts spinning at 50K rpm are involved I prefer to spend the money for the good stuff.

The average turbine shaft in a medium sixe turbo at max boost is closer to 100,000 rpm!! If you loose a turbine, it gets sucked into the motor. Guess what that does.
