Default Gt3255e vs Gt3251e, Some prices, and options, and crap would be nice to

Uncle sam will probably buy one of these for me and i want to make sure i get the right one for the right price. Let me know your input on weather or not to get it coated or which one and why, Some Specs would be nice. And if you know where the best price is would be sweet. One more stupid ?, Garret and Precision any link between there companies or what.

$585 was a price quote i got for one of these turbos, Shouldn't this cost more i thought GT turbos were around a grand? I don't know, i am excited, but i just don't want to be pissed off about my decision later down the road

What are your power goals? What engine? This turbocharger isn't a grand or around a grand because it uses a GT journal bearing as opposed to a GT ball bearing.

* GT3251E
51mm Inducer Compressor Wheel
71mm Exducer Compressor Wheel
52 Trim Compressor Wheel

64mm Inducer Turbine Wheel
54mm Exducer Turbine Wheel
72 Trim Turbine Wheel

* GT3255E
54mm Inducer Compressor Wheel
76mm Exducer Compressor Wheel
52 Trim Compressor Wheel

64mm Inducer Turbine Wheel
54mm Exducer Turbine Wheel
72 Trim Turbine Wheel

Below is pictures of a GT3251E.

do they make this turbo in a ball bearing version, I expect the bb version will spool quicker but if it very slight it might not be worth it. I have a b16 @83mm 9.0/1cr looking for a good pull to 350ish hp with out running tons of boost

At what boost level would the GT3255E be the most efficient and how many cfm's will it put out?And where the hell can you get them for $585?
