i change my mind. is either TD04 or GT15?
I'm sure GT15 will suit our displacement 1500CC as clearly status at Garrett website, what abt tD04? i still can't find the chart and info from them.
Mostly tD04 for 2000cc and above ( which i had found)?

The GT25R and 28R/28RS are all ball bearing. What flange is on your manifold?

I would put little stock into what displacement Garrett recommends a given turbo for. They are making assumptions in doing so.

Also.. enjoy buying new center sections instead of rebuilding if you go ball-bearing.

The turbo you will be using will likely be so damn small any real world difference in lag or transient response between the two will be negligible for your purposes.

This. Honestly, with a turbo that small, the spool time is going to be negligible. Save your money and stick with a journal bearing. td04 is perfectly fine for your setup. I don't know what these mechanics of yours are talking about. A td04 is extremely small.
