I was given the wrong information regarding the construction of the Garrett replacement. It is not a ball bearing turbocharger - it's a sleeve type similar to the stock unit but with about 5% more air flow. The Garrett part number is 709505-1.

If not, how would it achieve the 5%? Improved design & less friction? Regards, Greg Goulden.

Improved design & less friction? I believe that it is the whole lot assembled together waiting for the stock housings to be bolted on. The additional air flow is through improved aerodynamics of the blade design. Cheers gc '97 HDJ80 - Melbourne Oz
