Anyone get the upgraded Ball bearing center section for the T series turbo yet that garrett has been offering? I was just wondering what it cost and if you needed to buy any additional parts other then to switch to a wet center section as opposed to the t3/t04e with just oiling and no coolant.

 

The Ball-bearing conversion section is decently effective and useful upgrade, and has some decent results, but in my opinion lacks a little of the efficiency due to the lack of wheel design that the true "R" series turbos have.

The drain flanges and gaskets are the same as the T series.

 

i my self and thinking about doing the swap ive got the t3/t4e 57trim, so youre saying that if i was to change out the bearing it would be a good idea to change trim levels as well..

 

last i check they were selling for 800ish......you could sell your t series and get a gt series instead....

 

I would just swap units all together.
