I wanted a TTE470/TTE525R (I had TTH480 before) first but after hearing they only install a bigger wheel and always keep the old and weak thrust axial bearing, which is responsible for many IS38 crashes - see known forums and facebook entries, I decided on the PnP LM500. Before developing the LM500 the engineers told me that they first disassembled a TTE525R and then immediately knew what to change and replace. (see and compare all IS38 failures and especially upgrade chargers in this informative forum and understand how they die and how they blow up the engine later in a kamikaze manner). It took them three months time to design and combine it with the most endurable racing axial bearing + two bigger wheels + turbine shaft called TD05 by Mitsubishi - proven over the years to be way more endurable, which convinced me in the ending. Even if the TD05 part is extremely expensive, the prices of TTE / TTH / CTS / PnP / APR and Loba are very similar. Maybe it is competition and Americans are the best in doing business.
