Can someone explain why such a focus on the 68mm turbine? Its the same old wheel as the s300sx. The whole sxe300 frame benefits around in the design of the 80/74 turbine. Obviously the turbos map grooves and race cover lead to gains aswell.
Which ball bearing turbo are you referring to?
It's a new Garrett 62mm ball bearing charger that we've been working on developing a drop-in install kit for Dodge Cummins Trucks.

It's not a cheap turbo setup by any means, but it's a blast to drive on the street up here in the thin air....
My understanding is a lot of companies were starting to move away from ball bearing in diesels due to durability issues.
Absolutely not.

Right on. When they are sized adequately each work well. Seems the durability issues stem from Garret's not liking getting pushed as hard as what we're used to on the Borg's? How often are Garret failures occurring within rated shaft speeds or PR's?

I've went through 2 gt3788r's, 3782r, 4094r, 3794r, and a gtx4088r(kts 11blade) since 2007. Never exceeded 45psi. Buddy recently puked a t-wheel on his gtx35r. I handled countless chra exchanges on 37s when I worked at a Garrett distributor. They are the best street turbo I've ever run for low power and driveability, but don't seem to make it in the long haul.
Well theres 2 completely opposite ends of the spectrum of opinion in 3 hours. haha
I'm starting to question the gt35, 37, 40r durability. I'll say that they run great when they are not chewing wheels. Seems like the gt42r mentality didn't make it into the smaller frames.
