Default Rebuild t3 (with 360 bearing??)

Hi Folks,

My turbo for my 2wd saph on greens is leaking on the exhaust seal.

I'm planning a rebuild for it, but what difference makes a 360 degrees bearing??

Can a t3 360 bearing make more boost or reliability??

What's the best pressure setting for it??

My old (standard) t3 peaks at 25psi en holds 15 psi and maked 320bhp on dyno

Thanks,

Martijn

The 360 bearing as it sounds is a FULL CIRCLE bearing, the std one is 270 degrees, so the 360m offers far better support and longer life with the ability to produce more boost reliably for a longer time.
It will in itself NOT give any more power.
Boost setting is not determined by the bearing, but then neither is 320bhp made at 15psi boost, some one is telling you porkies.
