Journal or dual ball bearing turbo?

[cschepp]

Oh no worries man. If you prefer that I look into things further that's cool too. I just wondered what people experienced and if they were willing to share

[cschepp]

And I have my answer now. Over some conversation and actually helpful info from actual personal experience I'm sure I know what I'm going with now and feel confident with my choice. Thanks for the contributors. For the others continue flamming

EFR. No BOV. End of discussion.

wait, 500whp? aren't you RWD? That's gonna be a doughnut machine like a 800whp corvette (their tires are WAY wider than yours can be..)

No flaming though, power to you for going that way, just sounds like a lot of dori dori.

PPL w/ journal bearing turbos hype journals, ppl w/ ball bearing hype bb.

BIAS, but at the end of the day, BB does spool better core for core. Wheel designs have improved BOTH. IE: Honeywell GTX line up and new wheel designs for many journals.


BB is better anyways.


Quite odd for a "veteran" user to be asking such rudimentary question w/o attempting to use the search function on this popular subject (and yes, discussed here MANY times). Also, other forums have more information on this topic. I found all this info when I chose my turbo in/out of this forum, I don't really expect a hand to spoon-feed me info, I just consider that inept and inefficient but that's just me.

Journal bearing turbos are more resiliant against off throttle surge: confirm/deny

Kinda noobish to the whole turbo game. What is anti-lag? you just don't run a bov so always boosting?

[cschepp]

^ you don't run a bov? I have "heard" this could lead to a problem but I know people have done it. For me personally I love the sound of the bov but when it's to atmosphere you have a chance of stalling out.

Derk wouldnt the anti lag only help for roughly 500 rpm gain? So instead of making full boost at 4000 rpm you would make it at 3500 rpm? Or have they made this any better?
