50ar vs 60ar on a gt2871r
 
Hi,

I just ordered a gt2871r. I ordered a 63ar hot w/ a 60ar comp. They sent me a 50ar comp. What kind of performance differences can I expect between the two. Will the 50 spool faster but sacrifice top end? I am debating on whether or not to keep this or to return it. btw, this is going on a b18c.

Also, the ball bearing turbos freaking fail like clockwork as they are NOT a robust piece, and cost 85% what they run new to buy a new CHRA. It's what I call Magazine Technology - it looks good on paper, and sells well to magazine reading idiots who've never been in a fast car. Save the money and get a journal bearing turbo, you'll be really happy you did.
