Bling bling spinner turbo's are the newest rage

I wouldn't have compared the BB to a fucked up turbo, that wouldn't really help anyone out. The noise is just a little bit of dirt (most likely rust off the turbine housing) becuase I just got done reassembling it 5 minutes before the video. And no its not going to hurt anything cause it'll all blow out of there in 5 seconds. It only made noise cause I'm spinning the wheel with my fingers pushing the wheels closer to the housing.




yup, it is

Nice vids man I always suspected they'd be like that but never had any visual evidence. When you turn off your car with a ball bearing turbo can you still hear it spooling down? Cuz that would be tits

Re:Difference between Ball bearing turbos and ceramic *vid*
 

hmmm thats weird i have a turbonetics t3/t4 that has about 2000 miles on it and it spins free.. not as free as the BB turbo.... but lots better than the other one.

Great vid though man...
It it possible to take a air hose and blot in the inlet for like 2 seconds and then see how long each takes to slow down? that way there is no noise from your fingers or from you moving the fins at all..
Just a though.. good job though..

The ceramic turbo has been off a car for a while so yeah it will eventually spin freeer when hot oil goes through it but nothing like the ball bearing.


Here's the final video on this subject, sorry its shakey but last night was a big drinking night. Also ball bearings sound ------- badass too

For it to make noise you would have to hit full boost than jam on the brakes and shut off the car

Re:Difference between Ball bearing turbos and ceramic *vid*
 

I'm doing it. Best idea ever!

Re:Difference between Ball bearing turbos and ceramic *vid*
 

there is something wrong with the none ball bearing turbo, i did the same thing with the air hose and my friend's TEO4 turbo and it spun for lot longer then that none BB turbo

Re:Difference between Ball bearing turbos and ceramic *vid*
 

or put oil in the center section and use a air compressor :p

whitey, i'm assuming that the ball bearing turbo is a t3/t4 hybrid correct? if so where did you purchase it or do you want to sell that one? pm me
