Looks like an IS38+

TPC now offers the popular IS38 turbo in a ball bearing version. Not only have we removed the horrible IHI bearing system and replaced it with a Garrett style bearing system but we also increased the shaft diameter as well to handle higher boost pressures. The compressor and turbine wheels remain OEM sized.
This means you no longer have to taper your boost down towards redline. Most tuners will peak their tunes around 28psi and taper down to 22 psi by redline. With our ball bearing IS38 you can run max boost all the way to redline increasing performance over a regular journal bearing IS38.
This turbo will run on any off the shelf IS38 tune but a custom tune is recommended to take full advantage of the extra boost you can run with this turbo.
This is an all new turbo so no core is required.
Does not come with a diverter valve, you must reuse yours.
Looks like a very solid option for those not looking to go hybrid.
