In a minute I'll post some sites with awesome articles
Punx: I love learning new things, especially when this is the field of engineering I'd like to go in to...I feel sorta stupid now looking at it...its pretty far above me
I'd love to see the articles you're referring to. All the turbo companies have huge claims for "xx% faster spooling ball bearing turbos" but none really provide real world proof of the degree of improved spool.
I agree that what he said sounds more accurate. As far as the degree of difference between a dual and single ball bearing turbos, I think you'd be splitting hairs...
Oh, and I love having these discussions even if I'm told I'm wrong. It's the best way to learn.
