With the t3/t4 hybrid. The impeller is off the t3 turbo to ensure quick spool, and the compressor is off the t4 to produce higher boost pressures.<P>The ball bearing turbos are turbos that use ball bearings on the shaft. Most are just lubricated with oil. The ball bearings make for a MUCH better turbo letting it spin at higher rpms, and also reduce the problem of coking the oil.<P>(coking is when the oil gets too hot and burns in the shaft. It will turn to a solid and eventually blow the turbo)<P>The T is a name given by Garret. like G is given by Mitsubishi. ex. T3/T4, 16G, etc.<P>go pick up Maximum Boost, it will really help you out
