Message	All right guys, Average stock turbos have a life expectancy of roughly 60,000 miles. I'm assuming aftermarket turbos when treated properly will last just as long. Now the question is, when placing a pair of cartridge style bearing turbos in the same scenerio as an equivilent pair of ball-bearing turbos, which would last longer. My assumption is, that the Ball-Bearing turbos will last longer, and continue to be more reliable because there is less friction. I would like to hear some expert opinions on this and would like to be corrected if wrong. "Yes, I did pass you on a hill." To Build or Not to Build? ALT="Click here to go to my homepage!" BORDER=0>
