Ball Bearing rebuild idea..... - MFSuper90 - 08-04-2011
Does anyone know if it is possible for a local turbo shop to rebuild a regular journal bearing turbo, with ball bearing instead?
Thanks in advance,

if they can i would doubt it would be worth it. journal bearings are a good amount smaller from what i have gathered.
not to mention a well rebuilt journal isent going to be that terrible. of course ball bearings are better but journals arent really that bad.

A "rebuild" that does that would involve replacing the entire center housing, and presumably only keeping the wheels.

The price for the CHRA is pretty much the same as the whole bb turbo.
