BALL BEARING TURBOS

I KNOW YOU CAN BUY THEM FOR FORDS, BUT DOES ANYBODY MAKE A BALL BEARING TURBO FOR THE CUMMINS YET. I HAVE HAVE TALKED TO A COUPLE OF GUYS AND RODE WITH ONE THAT HAVE THEM ON THEIR POWERSTROKES AND THEY SPOOL UP AWFULLY QUICK.

Some have tried, and liked the results, others have tried and felt it was a waste of money. To each their own. <br><br>ATS is the most &quot;vocal&quot; shall we say about this testing. ;D

My truck is a lot faster when it gets waxed. It slips through the air a lot easier. :

Re:BALL BEARING TURBOS

I agree totally. After a good bath I run better to. Not to mention the flys quit buzzing me.
