My turbo is fine but when the day comes to replace I am wondering if a ball bearing turbo would be a suitable replacement.
Anyone else thinking along the same lines.

Id say you would still have to get it balanced. I would anyway, considering the compressor wheel spins at 50,000 plus rpm.
What got me thinking is making the engin more responsive, ball bearing turbo's will come on boost faster.

only other thing would be to get a water cooled turbo.

I think I'd have to go with a ball bearing turbo as well if the original one ever fails, they require about half the oil flow of the floating bush turbo's so you get a fair bit more oil flow available to feed the rest of the engine.
I'd also go with a water cooled unit too, it pretty much kills the need for a turbo timer, since I have a timer I wouldn't remove it but I'd probably set it to 30 seconds and that would be ample time to let the turbo cool off after a run.

Anyone got spec's on the factory turbo.
I might look up the garret catalogue for spec's on there ball bearing turbo's.
