Also, with the new technology being incorporated, you are able to see improved spool time a bigger HP numbers. Billet compressor wheels are not only lighter, which helps quicken spool time, but they also have superior aerodynamic profiles that compress more air efficiently: less heat = more power. Ceramic ball-bearing center sections are more durable, have less friction, and don’t require coolant unlike the original traditional ball-bearing units.

Hey Frank,
What turbo was installed on Tony's car when he was running the single turbo setup? In talking to Precision it sounds like there is a whopping $600 difference between the journal and ball bearing version of the 850R. Is there $600 worth of difference? When do you think full boost would be achieved on carrera cams with ball bearings versus journal bearings?
