Message	They are ball bearings, which makes them worth about 1k-1500 more over that ;) They are slightly inferior to the 530s (smaller housing, same rotating assembly I believe), but the cost savings was worth it. I told myself I needed BB turbos, since I am used to the torque curve of a NA, so I need quick spooling. This is a daily driver, so I am looking at around 400rwhp as the max I need, maybe mid 400's for the track days. Starting out around 8psi, since I am starting with stock injectors.
