Default Turbonetics 76mm any good?

Building a 5.3 turbo blow through truck. Would like to use a 7675 turbo and precision is my turbo of choice except the cost. Wondering if anyone has used the turbonetics 7675 ball bearing turbo on a 5.3? Are they durable? Make good power? Let me know what everyone thinks

I use Forced Inductions and they work extremely well!! I switched from Precision to Forced Inductions and picked up a ton.

My Precision turbo ate the bearings after 700miles. Since it was beyond a year... they said tuff luck.
Something to think about.

Is forced inductions another name for turbonetics or something? Not familiar with their brand at all

FI is just a shop that customizes other people's turbos. They are probably the best at it.

Haven't run one myself, but read a bunch of good things about them and plan on using a tc78 for my turbo build

I have twin Turbonetics 75/75s on a 427 and made 1315rwhp. What the deciding factor for me was the 1yr hassle free warranty they come with. Hit Jon@HuronSpeed for the best pricing.

I was also able to get my compressor powder coated and turbine side coated for additional money. I don't like polished so it had to be done, lol.

X2 on the warranty. My one turbo sucked in part if my wiring harness to my turnsignal lights and destroyed the wheel. They replaced for free. I couldnt believe it
