Turbonetics 60-1 turbo?

[craracer05]

So i'm having a little trouble finding some specific details on this turbo. I researched it on turbonetics page and according to their turbo matrix the 60-1 stg 5 is rated at 500hp for a 2.0l engine. So i went on slowboys website to look up some prices. My question is they say that a 60 trim and a 60-1 are different. How is this? Also slowboy sells this for 750 which sounds pretty good but my other question is do all turbonetics turbos feature their ceramic ball bearings or is slowboy's price for a non ball bearing turbo? I just want to know a little more about this turbo before i make a purchase and start getting all my supporting mods to match. The car its going on will on be driven mabye once a week so just trying to figure if this turbo is for me or not. I would like to be at about 425-500 hp and in the 11s and no i'm not just expecting to bolt this thing on and go i know i need tons of supporting mods and tuning to go with. Any ones advice on this would be appreciated.

A 60-1 and a 60 trim are indeed very different compressor wheels. You can find compressor maps for both here:

In case you can't tell, the 60-1 is good for about 10lb/min more than the 60-1, or 100hp more (roughly)

And no, not all Turbonetics turbochargers have their ceramic ball bearings. In fact, almost all the ones they sell do not, at least when you're talking about the ones that are sold as DSM bolt-on ones.

A 60 trim and a 60-1 are very different turbos. The 60-1 is alot bigger and it will net you your goals. Im not sure about the ball bearing part on SBR I'll have to take a look.

I have a feeling the 60-1 turbo slowboy is seeling is not ball bearing because it's so cheap. Also would I be looking at full spool by around 4000rpms??
