The T turbos use a journal bearing and the GT series use ball bearings. Ball bearing turbos spool much faster than journal bearings and also provide better shaft support. They also have ceramic ball bearing turbos as well. The GT turbos are more expensive but are great turbos. Look at www.turbobygarrett.com and look at the differences. I really wanted a GT35 (I forget which exact model I wanted) but they are a but pricey. A GT35 is going to run around $1000-$1200.

Are you looking for an internal wastegate or external wastegate?
