Message	to buy the JWT 530 ball bearing turbos. I don't have the real world experience to back up my decision, but I like to think that at least I made an informed decision. JWT markets the 530 as "the best street turbo for the daily driver." I look at them as the 500's on steroids. The 500's are not ball bearing. The 530's cost a lot more, and for that reason alone I give a lot of credence to Seedy's suggestion that it is hard to go wrong with the 500's. There can even be additional cost since the 530's require a 5-bolt downpipe while the 500's can reuse the stock 4-bolt flange. Still, I can't wait to get my 530's installed :c)
