I would almost rather get a new turbo just for fact for a lil more you can get a more efficient turbine but hey its personal pregrence I believe 57-1 are most common upgraded

60-1 Trim, here. I think it's the best of both worlds...meaning, I have about the same lag as stock(begins spool at 2600) and has AWESOME top end, too.
Nothing special looking...

++++1. It would be a good turbo to upgrade to...However, I am not sure on the life expectancy of it...The price is about what I would think it would cost, too.

I'm pretty sure having a BB turbo will make it last longer as well...

Yes, MDC does it...but I'm not sure if that is available right now...

There was a lot of commotion a few months back with a group buy thing and doing a .57 Trim w/ a Ballbearing center cartridge...for some reason or another, Jon wasn't able to do it...However, he DOES do rebuilds which is a great place to take it to if you are going that way or even a bigger wheel...Like I said, the BB C/C was going to be available...but not sure what happened to it. Luckily for me, when it is available, I'll be going BB and I'm lucky enough to live 20 min away:) ...... Jon(MDC)...chime in?

Doesn't he mod it for the ball bearing or am I thinking of someone else and isn't the ball bearing supposed to last longer?

he sure does. i'm waiting to receive my 56mm (yes, MM, not trim) upgraded CT-26 with the ball bearing upgrade. it should be here by the end of the month. :)

I thought MDC didn't do upgraded compressor wheels, Shaeff? If he does I would send it to him personally.

eh, i'm getting an upgraded turbo from him. i think he does it. contact him, he'll let you know for sure. :)

the BB upgrade is available now. i'll direct jon to this thread. perhaps he can enlighten us all with solid info.

and the BB upgrade should improve the longevity of the turbo.
