Hahahahaha through stock turbos? Maybe if you had 4 of them, yeah.

 

Look, the bearing is one of two things that can go boom if you overspeed the turbo. The other is the blades. The blades are always the first thing to go on stock turbos (j-spec) so uprating the bearings is pointless, they won't be the point of failure anyway. 360deg bearings are only a longevity thang. Even dual ball bearing races (DBB) would make sod all difference on stockers as they are so small there is bugger all lag anyway. The bearings have nothing to do with power. Also, the limitation of *power* generated by the turbo's airflow is a factor of the size of the turbo, not it's bearings. Whoever told you that was talking firmly out of their arse and were either a) trying to sell you something or b) trying to impress you or c) both, and d) probably hasn't picked up a turbo in their life.

Believe nothing that you hear, and half of what you see, especially if you are talking engine tuning over the internet, or down the boozer, it's a maxim that has worked well for me
