Rollerbearing turbos
#5
Ruan Wrote:Ball bearing turbos tend not to last as long as journal bearing turbos... They're actually stronger and will put up with more abuse, but will actually break faster... They're much more finnicky about oil, you have to have oil restrictors, or you blow the seals out the bearings and in all honesty, don't make that much difference...

Put it this way, I've got a journal bearing turbo at the moment, probably a 200hp capable turbo, and it spools as fast as a GT15 and quicker than a T2...

Don't waste your money, just as good journal bearing turbos out there for a Diesel application.
Thanks for clearing that up Smile
