FP MHI TF06-18K vs. BBX Ball Bearing Full/Lite?

Hi,

I was just wondering what everyone's thought were regarding the MHI TF06-18K vs. the BBX ball bearing full and lite turbos?

About what RPM do each of these spool? Any have significant advantages in top end or durability/reliability?

Use would be for DD and auto-X on an SST MR with supporting mods on 91 octane, stock block and probably no cams.

Thanks!!

Oh I forgot to make a thread about it! Yeah, I developed a camless 4B11T. It is amazing on emissions! Little low on power though

interested in the mhi 18k as well, seen some dynos on cobbs dyno database and it looks like a promising turbo. Although ill say cobbs dyno looks like it might read a bit on the high side to be honest.
