Ball bearing turbo to suit a 2LT ???

xtremitys · 11-18-06, 06:58 PM

wondering if anyone has upgrades to a B/B turbo from the stocker for a 2LT engine family , which one you used , differences in peformance, etc ???

Wondering if a the Garret B/B 25-28 series may be too big as thinking of getting one , once i know if its suitable or not ??? (understand there are different turbines & compressor wheels , etc & may have to modify exhasust manifold to suit)

you could probably try the smallest compressor GT25 with an intermediate turbine size and find good results ? I'm not sure the premium for BB would be totally worth it though ?

although nice to have it has been recommended to me that unless the engine is seeing over 5000 rpms it is not worth the extra coin for the BB option.
i can do a bit of research this week if you wish and i can pull up the suggested Garrette version for your application. let me know your exact driving habits and what you are expecting from your turbo. you will need the proper footprint as well...
cheers
