Drew it was nothing against your work. Your camaro looks killer. I was actually contacted this time. I was set to just run a single and was persuaded to stick with what I've wanted to do all along with the twins

I haven't witnessed a better track record as we have had with any other company.
All 3 were warranted, all 3 were caused by an oiling issue.
One had a piece of silicone in it.

Just got off the phone with turbonetics. They recommended the 72s but they were mostly just worried about how much hp I wanted to make. After I brought up that those turbos might become to small later on he was adimit they wouldn't be but he recommended the billet ball bearing 75/75 part number 11760-bb. Anyone out there running these and pm me with pricing as I'm looking to go that route. He also said there seeing them spool 500-700 rpm faster than the equivalent cast journal bearing 76/75 depending on engine.

I've had both. I would run journal bearing on the street.

Reason for journal bearing on the street? Was also thinking about the gtk 1000 turbos also. How do they compare to the 75/75?
