 Generally a good street turbo size would be in the 56-62mm range on the compressor housing. These will have very quick spool times and can likely make 500-600 wheel horsepower depending on the rest of the setup. \\ Generally a medium performance size would be in the 60-68mm range. These can make around 600 wheel horsepower depending on the turbo and the intercooling setup. Generally a good street turbo size would be in the 56-62mm range on the compressor housing.

 Newer turbos will use ball bearings in the compressor housing and will typically use engine coolant to help cool the bearings as well as oil to lubricate them. \\ Generally ball bearing turbos can spool faster and create less pre-turbo back pressure due to the decrease in friction in the bearings. Newer turbos will use ball bearings in the compressor housing and will typically use engine coolant to help cool the bearings as well as oil to lubricate them. \\ Generally ball bearing turbos can spool faster and create less pre-turbo back pressure due to the decrease in friction in the bearings.
