Garrett BB Center Section Failure Rate -Owners Please Report Y/N
I am on the fence about buying a GT42 or 42R for my 20b project. I understand the performance benefits of a ball bearing center section, but the two people I know personally that had them both had the center section fail (one went through 2 of them at $800 a pop). However, according to Sean at A-spec, who I want to thank for all his input, the failure rate is very low. Therefore, I want to see what other people's experiences have been like with them.

Most of the problems I've seen with BB on Mazda rotaries are related to the high turbine egt's. It's also important to run the water through the center section for cooling. A lot of people don't do it and the ball bearings overheat.
