Re: garrett ball bearing w/ pics CHEAP
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that isn't a Ball Bearing turbo.
All the Garret BB turbos end with an "R" (GT25R).
Also, I think the GT25R is the smallest BB turbo Garret makes.
In case you don't believe me, check their spec sheet: http://turbobygarrett.com/turbobygar...t%209%2004.pdf
Page 13 (listed as 18 in PDF Nav)
And I think the GT17 has a T2 style flange. But I could be wrong on that one.

Garrett Ball Bearing Turbochargers always end with an "R" as in GT28R. The R denotes the "rolling" element found in the
single cartridge, dual ball bearing design Garrett uses on all GT Ball Bearing Turbochargers contained in the Performance
Products Catalog.

Re: garrett ball bearing w/ pics CHEAP
actually its not off any saab... its built by garrett for Saab 99-04 2.3l 9-5 aero or 2.0l 9-5 and saab specifically told me its ball bearing, its the whole reason it was bought in the first place. small motor quick spool (8psi at 2600rpm). potential buyers PLEASE VERIFY this is a ball bearing turbo if thats why you want it. do a google search if you want. garretts website doesnt list the GT17 at all so its no help.

Re: garrett ball bearing w/ pics CHEAP
Dbb turbos actually have a lot of shaft play even when they're brand new. I just reached into the 3065 I've got right here and confirmed this. The turbo has less than 4k on it, so I know it's good.
