deathsminion Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 I'm probably sorely mistaken, but aren't GT17's ball bearing? Or am I getting my terminology mixed? Quote

pozman Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Posted February 21, 2007 thats wierd i thought th gt turbos were ball bearing, oh well, might see how much the carbon seal kit is for them. this is my mates car, my ca18 project is still happening, just waiting on someone to weld the mounts in :lolcry: , and then it s full steam ahead :lolcry: Quote
