I've taken apart and built old ones I had. It's not difficult. Chad, who works at a diesel shop also went over things with me, and I got all the torque specs for it.

I've spoken to diesel components, FP, garrett and pte, they all say turbos of this size come factory with that 270 thrust bearing. It worried me too, trust me. And, odds are I will be ordering an upgrade kit for it over winter, or sending the turbo into PTE to get their billet upgrade, but we will see. I DO like the fact that it's SS and NOT brass/bronze..whatever it is. Either way, we shall see I guess. Just another part.
