I have seen turbos where the compresser and turbine are quite far apart like
<----------------------------------------------------------> that far. What is the go there? Is that to keep the compressor cooler or something? |

i thnk the water and oil cooled ones are wider apart to fit the 2 cooling gallerys in
mine is quite close and is only oil cooled.
this is a theory, i dunno if its real reason. but my "un educated guess from observations"

could be the Thrust bearings plate may be very thick also,
meaning it was not ball bearing,
just an assumption!! |

| Mine is close together and its BB and water/oil aswell. Some older turbos may be like that, probably just the way that company designed them at first. |

lol, coz the arrows that I drew will change size depending on screen resolution & font heh.
I'd say the compressor and turbine were between 100 ~ 150 mm apart |
