I had a question to you Chad. What type of bearing does the BBK use? If it uses the same style bearing wouldn't the BBK benefit from the FP oil feed from the filter? I know FP sugggest if running more then 25psi to use this oil feed. But don't you think if a customer was to run 30psi all day everyday that the BBK would experience the same bearing failure assuming your turbo uses the same style of bearing.

I have no preferance as to manufacturer, only looking fo input, as to varibles to consider. This will take some time to compile as FP has a 4-5 week delivery delay due to demand. Please give me some time, as I use the car as a dd as much as possible. Tests wil be done at Gateway International Raceway, in Illinois.I am an Old school, hot rodder,50 year old, no flame fests please, Much more fun smoking V8's.

For example when my car was being tuned and the tuner was trying to dial in the boost controller he set a goal of 20psi which it held till redline. 20 psi I made 400 or 420. I like to go to the drag strip so I know this turbo is better for me. Plus my over all goal was 500-550 hp on stock engine and for me the Red was the perfect choice. The good thing about the BBK and HTA Green is spool up time is like lightning fast.

You know in all of this I feel bad for MAP and Tomei......no room left for those guys FP and CBRD has locked the stock appearing turbo market down. Great job Chad and Rob
