The Turbonetics catolog from the TO4B post below made me wonder which turbo series would be better
Garrett's new GT series is ball-bearing and more efficient if I'm not mistaken; however, I've heard very good things about the ceramic ball-bearing option on t3/t4 hybrids (the option can be put on other T-series turbos as well). I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts are regarding a GT-series vs. a ceramic ball-bearing T-series of comparable size. How would the boost threshold, turbo lag, efficiency, max flow, etc. compare?

I found some information relating to my question (compares 3 types of turbo bearings)

Read down about opposite of the turbo map to see what Ray Hall has to say about the GT series VS the
older T series ...<ul><li><a href="http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_886/article.html">http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_886/article.html</a</li></ul>
