Anyone know anything about FWD performance's comp turbos? Just wonderin if they have anything good for the LNF.

 

Do you know what brand of turbos they are. I Would almost garuntee that they are just a reseller for garret, borg, precision stc and just put their tags on it claiming it as there own like many other big turbo companies.

 

They just say comp turbos on them.

 

do they have apic. I should be able to tell by looking at them

 

If you have Facebook look up fwd performance and look I'm on my iPhone and can't post pics

Thanks

 

Them do look like nice turbos.
Ceramic ball bearing is better than journal bearing any day.
They do have a 1 year limited warranty but that dont mean much. Most companies just claim the oil contamination card and deny warranty though.

 

Oil-less journal bearing? no prices? doesn't sound too great to me but I'm weird that way lol

 

It's a ceramic ball bearing.. And I see prices

 

every one I looked at never had a price and I looked at all of them!

The oil less option is for standard bearings only it says. I'm not that blind yet! lol

 

Haha I just went to "entry level turbos" and saw prices and power level options and some of those.

 

those are all standard bearings. and any turbo above that says call for prices.

 

Ah ok lol I guess should read the whole page next time lol

 

ball bearing turbos run atleast 1200-1500 without turbine housings depending where you get it from. I would imagine that ceramic ball bearing turbos are more expensive since steel ball bearings are easier to get

 

When I worked at bullseye Power for 4 years I got to tear apart quite a few gt30 turbos and you can see why there is a price difference. The quality on them is amazing inside. I tried to make some ball bearing s200's and s300's but never put them on anything. Ball bearings themselves are not all that expensive but the turbos use angular contact ceramic and steel ball bearings that are much more expensive. I contacted a company in china that made them and for one it was $87.

So there is a reason ball bearing turbos are more expensive. I know how much a journal bearing rebuild kit is at cost price and what they get resold for.

 

^ That's good to know! Thanks man!
