Message The 530BB is based off the GT2554R. These get confused a lot.

These are subtle differences but they can be significant for a given application. I mention this because the GT2560R has a bad reputation on here. The 530BB has maintained a fine reputation. The only difference I can discern is the 530 has ball bearings. Are the ball bearings really that big of a discriminator between these two turbos or is there some misconception regarding the GT2560R?
