been talking to some turbo folks around here about it...

is the +/- 500 dollar increase in price for BB turbos worth the money?

I've been told they aren't rebuidable and have to replace the entire CHRA assembly $$$

benefit of decreased spool time...

Opinions?

It all depends on what turbo you are looking to buy. Since you have a M6 it might help, if you had an Auto I would say save the money for something else.

Innovatives ball bearing CHRA are completely rebuildable and at a very reasonable price too. The turbo itself is not very cheap, but they have come down lately. A 76 through them is around $2300.

I'd personally save the money and just run a std bearing turbo, I'm sporting the DBB turbo I have because I got a really good deal on it.

I'm considering a pair of turbos anyhow...so the difference would be multiplied by a factor of 2.

The option does NOT out weigh the benifits. The turbo has to be rebuilt by the maker usually and not a local shop. Ive been told by most who sell them to not get the DBB opton unless you just have the extra $$$ laying around.

In the supra community the DBB vs the Std is only around 200rpm of spool. Same power outputs.

Save your money.

I just got off the phone w/ Precision Turbo, and they quoted me a retail price of $999 for a std bearing T-61 and $1199 for ball bearing, which is less of a difference than I expected. They said they've seen a spool difference of 600-800 rpm, but I've read elsewhere 200-300 rpm as stated above.

They spool around 200-300rpms sooner at most. As for pricing and more info call Jose at Forcedinductions.com. He will give you all the answers you need. He is the genious when it comes to that.
