Good I'm glad it works. No, I'm not going to take them apart, I just wanted to show how much easier a ball bearing turbo spins compared to a ceramic so people can see for themselves why a ball bearing might be worth the extra money.

The other one's a turbonetics that I just cleaned, it has 600 miles on it. I can compare to other turbos if you think its an unfair comparison
