So are precision turbos just bad then? I don't think I've ever read anything go wrong with a Garrett turbo. @King Tut did you run a garrett turbo?

The only times we have had to send back PTE turbos they have all been journal bearing models. We always recommend a call bearing unit if you can afford it (Garrett or PTE) |

Lol thanks everyone, sorry for my ignorance. I just wanted to know, what to look out for if I was to purchase a turbo.

All it took for me to choose a Garrett was the water cooling. It really increases longevity when things are meant to be kept cooler. |

For discussion sake, what you do guys think about their new BB air cooled? Supposedly using ceramic ball bearings reduces the the "need" for water? Would our platform(or any other with a turbo in a tight space, which usually is the case) have adequate airflow for their air cooled design to work properly, or does the design doesn't need much air at all moving around the CHRA? Have to say I'm interested(no water lines) but not sure if its practically the same as their oil cooled only units.

That and could avoid overheating the center housing after shutdowns lol and causing the drain flange to leak.. just kidding as this is not a fact but it always makes me wonder.

For an air cooled design, ducting would be necessary for proper cooling. Most things air cooled need to have things designed around them to be effective rather than throwing in water cooling and not having to worry about air flow in the engine bay. |

Yeah, heat soak is the main reason I'd much rather have water cooled than oil only. That and I still plan on DDing mine, so longevity and reliability are very important.
