CCCC miso xr6 Donating Members 317 Member For: 16y 25d 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 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 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
