No, they aren't cheaper.


If you want a bigger turbo but can stand to use a journal bearing, look into holsets. If an "off the shelf" (or truck in most cases if you're shopping on ebay) unit doesn't have what you want, you can mix and match. Alot of holset turbos have the same chra and you can interchange housings and wheels as you please from what i've been finding out.
