everyone is forgetting that a major CON is that this is an RNR kit, ball bearing or not...

The NEXT thing you should look at is make sure it has the .63 back housing. I picked up on of these kits and it had the .48 back housing, it KILLED HP, wasn't even stock speed. It MUST be a .63.
Well like 04WWRS said difference in BB and non BB is 300rpm spool time. Power output will be the same. You should be running a turbo timer anyway with whatever turbo you have on your car or sit there for a minute after parking and let the engine run. I don't know about you, but I change my oil every 2000-2500 miles just because I like to have clean oil in my car so if you do that, just a oil cooled turbo isn't a bad thing. Yes it does have a .63 hotside.

Now if you wanna go over pro and cons please do it to yourself and not in my thread. I really don't care what you think is a good deal or not because I know it's a great deal. If you don't want the kit then don't buy it and stay out of my thread.

This is a new kit and you are not buying from a craptacular vendor. They put out power proving kits. If I had the money i'd buy this kit.

It's not a used kit, it is a new kit. The previous owner had it bolted to the car and then removed it to sell to me. The kit has never been on a started engine or had a drop of oil ran through it.

That's a good point most of the time it was RNR's service that was terrible not their parts

This kit will definately put out power, trust me I know As for the non BB you wont notice too much. I have a buddy running the Non BB RNR 50 trim and still sees full boost by 4k. RNR parts aren't bad, their service is.

I'm, sorry man, I wasn't trying to bash you kit. God knows that this is a great deal. I was simply pointing out the issues I had with my RNR kit which yours obviously doesn't have. The .63 Housing will ensure a DynoJet WHP rating of 420-450WHP on 93 pump and has been done with this exact kit.

This particular 50Trim only runs oil cooling, which is fine. The NON BB cneter cartrige floods it with much more oil then a water cooled unit. It works fine and this is by far the most tried and true Turbo in the Tunign community.

Actually your kit was the reason that I bought this one.
