Whats looks bad about the BB part? Thats one of the main selling points.

The reason its better than a T series is that its specifically designed for the DSM, and is a Direct bolt on.

First off, this a true bb center section and not a turblownetics bb.

Second, this a custom designed, brand new, already track tested and proven, SS turbine side. There isn't anything from ANY other competitor out there in turbo land that is even similar. It even moves the turbo more forward so you don't have to dent the water pipe on your dsm anymore. This new turbine side was fabbed, tested, changes were made, re-fabbed, re-tested until it was right the past couple of years. No compromises were made in its development, its track testing on dsms in various parts of the country and the results that were wanted.

About ball bearing center sections, they don't like any dirt at all, and they also like low oil pressure. Not hard to accomplish on a dsm. ;) However when you trash the center section they are garbage and not rebuildable as far as I know.
