Message	I decided to bite the bullet and be the guinnea pig here. I went ahead and bought a set of Garrett GT25 ball bearing turbos from Balistik Motorsports in Australia. I have been in the market to replace the blown SGP built T28s(382rwhp@18psi) on my car for a while, these look like they will do nicely. My goal here is as quick spool up as possible and still make some nice top end... hopefully these will do the trick. Anyways, here are the pics: Also, Tony at Balistik was a pleasure to deal with. I got these turbos about 4 days after I paid for them, incredible shipping time from Australia to Southern California!
