ok. what is ball bearing turbo, what are the benefits of it, how much does it cost usually. car lasts longer?

 

A ball bearing turbo uses ball bearings instead of shaft bearings which come on other turbos. Ball bearings allow the turbo to spool quicker. They make as much power as other turbos and last very long. But they are not rebuildable.

 

thanks txhatch.. oh and mitchell im sorry but i didnt get ball bearing turbo from F n F. I watched it ONCE.. i dont want to start anything but... that isnt appreciated. My friend was talkin bout getting a ball bearing turbo n he said it was good for the engine life n shit.. i was just curious

 

They also run a bit cooler than standard.


Basically, it's just a more efficient bearing for the turbo.

 

Sorry about the comment, I've been in a foul mood lately (I want both of my roommates to go away for a long time!).

Anyway, they have all of the benefits you would expect from a low friction producing turbo.
