Message	: they are expected to spool sooner than non-BB turbos of ~equal size.....however they will not withstand high boost runs/ top speed runs like a conventional turbo will BB's are just too efficient to have any kind of draw backs like people claim. I've thought about it long and hard...And maybe I don't know all the facts (most likely). I think the bearings will run cooler. They require less oil. They roll much smoother then sleeves. Everything I see, puts any failure back on the turbines them selves...I dunno. I'd put money on these things *if* folks can work out the install. Right now, I'm still on the proven JWT500-550 camp. If Chip wants to work me a deal, i'd sucker up for a set tommorow.
