Well lets try and think about this logically. You do know that HK$ does not "make" turbos, right? The HK$ units are essentially Garrett with a HK$ stamp on it. Now, Garrett has a GT series of dual ball bearing turbos, two of them being about the same size and bigger than the T51 Kai, with equal or greater construction, and without the HK$$$$$$$$$ stamp on it. So, forget about HK$ and go buy a Garrett GT3540 or GT3542 (rated at 700 and 750 hp, respectively) and save yourself some $$$$$.

I got the info out of a magazine, but i guess HKS would know best

from High Performance Imports
"T51RBB
The ball-bearing version of this very fat turbo was released this year, making it about the biggest proper ball-bearing turbo available."
