CCCC miso xr6 Donating Members 317 Member For: 16y 5m 14d Posted 09/02/12 11:20 AM Share Posted 09/02/12 11:20 AM Hi guys, my turbo bearings are gone an I was wondering which option to go for.Sould I just get the turbo high flowed with new bearings which would set me back 1000 dollars, or a new catridge with a bigger, front compresser wheel, the turbo is of a 2003 ba model. I do wanna hit the 400kw at wheel mark in future.Thanks mic Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78869-turbo-bearings-gone-what-shall-i-do/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bad is the damage on your original? If its not so bad maybe a rebuild with a T04Z front cover or similar? All comes down to how much you have to spend. Don't forget the tuning afterwards if you change covers or turbos Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78869-turbo-bearings-gone-what-shall-i-do/#findComment-1193698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better of standard turbo and spending money on a new FG short motor as a BA won't handle that power long. On the FG short you will see 370rwks with your standard turbo easy and reliable.

Would the UBP intake still fit on this?
