360º thrust bearing?

When BNR rebuilds and upgrades their turbo w/ tougher bearings, they install a 360º thrust bearing. I have my S5 turbo COMPLETELY apart. are they hard to rebuild at all? where would oen get a rebuild kit with this bearing in it.

Im probably gonna end up sending it to BNR, but i wanna play around with ideas.

Are you asking what a 360 degree(how do you make the degree symbol?) thrust bearing is? I am not sure precisely what it is, but I believe its a bearing that allows you to run higher boost levels without damaging the turbo. The one I have ordered has it so it should be safe to boost to 16psi(or higher if I wanted to) I believe.

I just purchased a turbo that has one already. It was upgraded by turbonetics so contact them and see.

º Oh ****!! Thanks man. Are there any other symbols like that?
