The new 2060VKLRs from the Mercedes Bluetecs are unreal though...
If you're going for something absolutely state of the art, the GTD1752VRK will be insane.
Word of warning with a 2060VLKR, DON'T get one rebuilt. Get one new...
They use ceramic ball bearings - I assume you're maybe referring to the fact they're not as good as the OE Garrett units which they won't supply to the aftermarket? Seen a few fail? I'd be interested to know...
