The first stage of cartridge ball bearing kit, this consists of replacing the compressor side journal bearing with a single angular contact ball bearing. Since the single bearing can only take thrust in one direction, a thrust bearing is still necessary and drag in the turbine side journal bearing is unchanged. with single ball bearing cartridge the compressor wheel is entirely supported by the ball bearings, maximizing efficiency, performance and durability.

Full Ceramic Ball Bearing

The great improvement we make so far!
Why ceramic?
