honestly, that is what i had figured. I remember researching DBB setups and the general idea is that they require more attention to keep them working properly and that in some cases, the increase in boost response isn't enough to over see the maintence.
Thus, I assume that this turbo setup is more for a pure racecar application where you have dedicated time to look over the entire vehicle between runs and are not running the vehicle for more than 30 minutes at a time, max!

On smaller cube engines would the difference in spool be more noticeable ?
And I was always under the impression, the BB units could handle high boost/thrust loads better than conventional bearing systems ?

The BB's were designed for that as well, but they were mainly designed for units that had a weak thrust assembly. These units do not have that problem.

funny,.. the other day i ran into a guy with a gt35r in a subi. We were talking about a few things and the subject about my car came up and my turbo. (S85) Almost like clockwork, we said that he might have a chance since his turbo was a BB unit and mine wasn't.
I almost lost it!! It's funny how much misinformation there is running around... anyways, just wanted to share that, really made my weekend triping on that comment.

Yeah alot of people are clueless to BB turbos. They need to be on an edition of Myth busters....lol
