That dual ball bearing turbo is from Innovative Turbo in Socal. IMO the jury
is still out on whether this is a feasible option. The basic turbo is a
Garrett unit that is modified by Innovative to incorporate the bearings. Mike
P has had a serious whine, and i don't mean the Cabernet type either, in his
from day one. It was sent back and returned with the whine still singing
along. Brian Billotti has a similar turbo to Mike's with a slightly larger
compessor but he's still in the break-in mode and has yet to really explore
the envelope. It should be pointed out that these turbos are somewhat smaller
than a certain turbo found in an Emerald green S4 located in Evergreen CO.
This in no way should be taken as anything negative on my part concerning
these two fine individuals.
