BBK-3B - my new favorite turbo
#27
Journal. English showed there was no difference in power between the JB and BB Green.

No difference in power but response is better on the ball bearing units. Obviously you know this which is why you purchased the DBB bbk. The new green with the better housing and larger turbine wheel is a significant upgrade as well. I would say that you have an improvement for sure from what you had. I would like to see a new DBB green with 67 turbine and SS housing compared to the BBK 3B.

In another thread related to this same turbo, someone mentioned that the BBK-3B has gone through some improvements and that as a result the newest versions spool quicker than the earlier 3B's. Does anyone know what changes were made by Blouch to improve spoolup on the latest 3B's?
Maybe I am wrong, but I imagine that any significant improvement in spool would most likely be a result of further improvements to the aero design of the compressor and/or turbine wheels.
So, if the 3B has received upgrades does anyone know what exactly has been changed on these turbos?
