Im having quite a hard choice..
I wanted to rebuild my turbo but the cost to do the rebuild and do some addons is going to cost about 300 shy of a new turbo.

Im between the BD Turbo Thruster or the Garret GTP 38R both are nice but i want some opinions on which one may be better

go with 38r. its a ballbearing turbo instead of journal bearings and is proven up to stage 2's.

Gtp38r is ball bearing for super fast spool up, can handle stage 2's, and is not rebuildable

BD is a trust bearing turbo, spool will be similar to stock, apparently can also handle stage 2's, it's quieter than the 38r
