It's a 360. I just ordered the same turbo from turbonetics in a 50 trim and mine was a 360 thrust bearing. The TEC turbo's all come in a 360 bearing standard...at least according to their sales guy.
It's wierd though, when I called TEC in colorado they quoted me $1040 for that turbo. I wonder why my price was higher. I just below $850 for my turbo from turbonetics.....but for a few bucks more I would have gone with TEC. Too late now though.

Actually I priced out the 46 and 50.....both were within $50 of each other according to the girl on the phone. She didn't have an actual tech person available....so maybe those were just the prices in her catalog, but in either case it cost them my business. I beleive she quoted me $1027 and $1077 for the 46 and 50 respectively.
Oh...and I went with the 50 trim and #8 hotside as well. Whooohooo

TEC's page is: http://www.turboengineering.com/
If you call them make sure you ask to talk to Jim, or one of the "techs." This could be the cause of the price descrepency.

"If his turbo is blowing oil, it will continue to blow oil even if a catch can is used."
I got that part, but it seems like you're saying that whenever the crankcase vent has oil coming out of it, blowby is an issue. I think all of us would have a blowby problem then; even OZ (filter turning oily and eventually dripping oil into can)

Mike S and cpt_koolbeenz do you guys plan to put your cars on a dyno afterwards? A dyno sheet showing boost and A/F ratio from both of you would be a great coparrison!
