Fp green. Both would give you more than 400whp but the Fp green would me more reliable.

I mean this post is pretty much useless. Both turbos can achieve your goal, and people are just going to give you opinion based on their personal experiences. I would recommend using the search feature for PTE turbos and FP turbos and see which group is happier.

For the record, as someone who owns neither...I would go with the FP.

shit i gotta get used to this site. im a damn noob! but whats so good about pte's 5557 ballbearing turbos then?

Everyone is going to recommend what they prefer. For example, I don't care for PTE turbos or their customer service from past experience, so I'd recommend xxxxx turbo over a comparable PTE unit.

I don't know- the ball bearing center housing? Ball bearing turbos have no thrust system and can live on literally zero oil, but dirty oil will MURDER a ball bearing turbo in a few seconds, where a journal bearing turbo has a thrust system to support the shaft but is much more tolerant of dirty oil.

Then you answered your question then. You are getting an FP Green.

yeah ive been thinking of gettin the green but i kept hearing how the pte bb turbos spooled faster. i mean does that matter having a fwd? i just dont want it burnin out too much. i also read the bb turbos last longer.

All that matters is that you don't want to replace your manifold and downpipe. The rest of the discussion is moot.

Typically a FWD wants a slower spooling turbo.
