The short version:
The stock turbo’s center section is water cooled & most replacements are only oil cooled.
The stock compressor does great up to ~5K RPM before it gets behind.
The stock hot side has more potential then the stock compressor. That’s why hybrids are so popular.
The stock Hitachi turbo uses the same bearings as a Garret T-4.
