Which Turbo is strongest? PES T28, APR stage3, AWE KO4? Time Slips?

Where he always does...nowhere in a hurry
:-(
The BB cartridge turbo is FAR FAR FAR less prone to failure of the shaft seals because there is less play in the shaft assembly and rotating group as a result. You can machine the housings to a tighter tolerance (less losses) and you needn't worry as much about lash fore and aft coming on and off boost...which is something that destroys bushing based turbos rather quickly. It's not even so much about smooth rotation or any kinda spool up...it's about higher reliablity than some ancient cost optimized old bushing design like the T28.

Lol, I should have figured you'd show up. A butterfly flaps it's wings in asia...
and CMH finds a way to poke APR.
Was this with the new turbo? hehe.
I have nothing against either kit, but it is what it is. The T28 is not BB the GT25 is. Is PES intending to switch to twin BB? Otherwise, I don't see why it's relevant.

Sorry to tell you but APR does not OWN the GT25 turbo
That turbo was used on other cars including the one that sits in my garage(DSM)and did that well before APR was even thought of. No PES is not but after I run the car thru its paces with the T28 I will be running a Twin BB GT turbo that puts out 480 hp on 20psi.
