[dedant]

might sound stupid but is it possible, to convert a plain bearing td05
into a ball bearing td05
is it only a different housing type for the bearing
cheers

Paul,

did you get my email? anyways regarding this it has been done since like 5 years ago. you can buy rear houisngs to suit a TD05H thats machined out to accept a 500/600/700 roller cartride. If you want more info pm me and ill foward you some links.

Regarding ATP's 'frankie spec' turbo's they are a hybrid turbo. Half garrett, half mitsubishi but very effective.
