Actually, when we were first evaluating the MHI turbos as a viable option, we noticed that the turbine housing is very well designed. The port from the turbine inlet flows more smoothly into the wastegate port than the Garrett turbine housing. Therefore, it should be less of an issue. That said, we will be doing some additional testing to evaluate the potential for boost creep even further.

We were contemplating doing a group buy or something similar. The jury is still out on that though.

Very true.

The Garret Ball bearing TT or MHI TT?
Well, one of the advantages of our Garrett ball bearing kits is the fact that the ball bearing turbos will outspool the journal bearing turbos. There is no refuting that. That said, for the price, the MHI is a great way to go since you'll have money left over to put towards a built motor if that's what you really want to do. At the same time, if you are looking for ultimate performance with unbeatable spool, then our Garrett kit is the way to go.

Either way, both systems offer advantages and disadvantages. Really, the defining characteristic is going to be budget.
