How about GT28 dual ball bearing? it should come very fast even for your low boost.. guess about 2300start and full by 3000

for cheaper alternative, consider skyline RB25DET turbo. cermaic ball bearing, spool very fast.

cheers

Today is a sad day.Ijust got back from the turbo specialist and parked my z in the driveway and went inside to have supper.About 10 min.later my son and his mate came running inside to tell me my cars on fire.I ran for the garden hose ,but water does not work well on burning rubber and plastic.The motor looks like a pile of black and grey sh****t and so does the rest of the car. on the brite side ,the turbo guy said RB25 turbos are the best bet for what I want. They will easly support 500 hp on a vh45.

really sad to hear that.

well maybe its a blessing in disguise. something better may come after that. or actually it prevented some other unwanted things to happen.

cheer up

Take care
