I just need to set up the appointment to get tuned but how much would the rebuild cost with the custom bearing I don’t mind being the guinea pig on this one to see what the limits are on both bearings but looking to see if they can keep up to a 2867 kit which would be amazing for a drop in
It may perform closer to a gtx2860r with the same level of durability. But the gtx2867r is another animal.

@RV6 Do the beta units have upgraded bearings?
Yes Sir!

All BETA units have the upgraded bearings.

@RV6 i tagged you on Instagram
Thanks just saw it. For some reason I saw 393hp not 293hp.

I assume no, as they mentioned doing that later down the road.
All BETA units have upgraded bearings. Only the first prototypes did not and those will be swapped out as needed.

Don’t worry I was also testing a BETA turbo. Remember I said it was only on the car for a few days.

Everyone has the upgraded bearings. Unless you got your turbo back in June and it has prototype stamped on it.

Good question. They generally are beneficial but what size to use? A t25 or t28?
I would go with ceramic coat and the stock heat shield. We saw IAT increases from just a blanket and no heat shield on the FK8s.
