well im sending my d16z6 block to laskey racing to be built and ive been looking at a couple turbos but i cant decide on which one i want, im shooting for about 275-300whp..... it doesnt matter what it is as long as its a ball bearing turbo, also i wanna keep my a/c i could give a damn bout power steering so any input on a good manifold that lets me keep my a/c would be greatly appreciated

That's a bad mentality to have. That's like saying, I want a car...i dont care what it is as long as it's blue. You really limit your options.

Why, may i ask, is a BB CHRA so important?

 

well let me rephrase that i would really like to have a ball bearing is that better

Not really. Sounds like you have a bit to understand about turbochargers and efficiency other than what your friends tell you.

 

well i had a turbo honda about 2 years ago and i had a built and turbo tiburon i recently got rid of but with those i told them what i wanted and just paid to have them built it and whatnot but with this build i wanna have more of a input and hands on thing with it.......i read about them alot but i just dont understand a bunch of stuff about them its gibberish to me lol, i know the basics of them and how they work but i dont really have that in depth knowledge of turbo's that i would like to have and need if u understand what im saying

 

All the more reason for you to get involved in your own research in understanding both BW/garrett turbochargers as well as understanding journal and ball-bearing cartridges before making a statement like that.
