Billet Turbochargers are a true high end performance turbocharger built from the highest quality parts and materials. They are lighter, spool faster and can handle higher thrust loads than have ever been achieved in any production turbocharger.
Most ball bearing turbo manufactures are still only using steel ball bearings, plastic bearing cages and GMR turbines.
Some performance brands are using a single brass caged ceramic ball bearing systems. The single caged ball bearing turbochargers use one ball bearing to deal with thrust loads leaving the second as an oil journal style bearing. This design does not completely achieve the full benefits and/or fast spooling advantages of a true twin ball bearing system Billet Turbochargers use perfectly matched aeronautic grade twin full complement silicon nitride ball bearing systems and the latest technology compressor wheels and Inconel turbines. Inconel is the most durable material used in conventional production turbochargers.
The perfectly matched aeronautic grade twin full complement silicon nitride ball bearing system developed by Billet Turbocharger disregards the need for a bearing cage altogether. With out the need for a bearing cage the Billet Turbochargers ball bearing system has considerably less drag than conventional ball bearing turbo's.
The Billet Turbochargers silicon nitride balls are over 200% lighter than steel ball bearings, have a truer shape and they can withstand more heat and higher thrust loads. With lighter, truer shaped ball bearings and no bearing cage, then used in
conjunction with the latest compressor wheels and Inconel turbines. Billet Turbochargers make more power, spin up faster and can with stand more punishment by design.
The Billet center cartridge and back plates are a unique advanced light weight, hard anodized precision CNC machined air craft grade
billet aluminum piece. As well as being functional in heat dissipation and weight saving, they look fantastic. The Billet Turbochargers
come in a standard colour range of anodized Red, Blue and Purple.
For an additional cost they can be custom ordered in just about any colour you would like.

Frequently Asked Question:
Is the Billet Turbochargers ball bearing system just the same as other ball bearing turbo's ?
Short Answer: NO!
The Billet Turbochargers ball bearing system is NOT a copy of any other ball bearing turbo. The Billet Turbochargers ball bearing system is an original design developed by Billet Turbochargers. The basic idea for the advanced ball bearing system came from the aerospace sister company Talon AeroSpace. At Talon AeroSpace they develop and manufacture small gas turbine jet engines for defense force uses.
The same principles as used in Talon AeroSpace ball bearing jet engines have been carried over to the Billet Turbochargers system.
Gas Turbine jet engines have much higher shaft speeds, extreme heat and thrust loads than any turbocharger. These facts led to the unique high performing and robust design of the Billet Turbochargers ball bearing turbochargers.
