Twin PTE 6176s or TC78? I have been putting together my 72 Nova for awhile now, and I am finishing it up. I have a basiclly new tc78 with a .96 exh housing that I planned on using for my 5.3L setup. I am thinking about making a deal on a set of pte6176 turbos. Has anyone used them? My plans for the car are to be mostly a drag car, with limited street duty.
What are yalls opinions?

I've only seen 1-2 LSx applications using the Precisions, and the results seem disappointing. I am into a build with the Precision 6266's as twins. On paper they should be impressive, in practice the only real results I can find are on Hondas, SRT-4's, and Supra's. As singles, those results are impressive though. Lots of the Precision units seem to have problems with oiling. Don't know if that is just poor setups or some real problem with the units.

I have been searching as well, without finding alot of good results with the smaller 60s, like you mentioned most of the info I am finding seems to be smaller motors or imports..
bump back up.. anyone else?

the PTE units are treating me well.

all of this is making me want to just throw these 6176s on my firebird... I have a 9.8:1 compression 370 with LS3 heads and 6 speed.. Im thinking putting these twins on there, and just building a bigger single setup for the nova..
So with the 62s you made 800rwhp.. on pump? without meth? If I dont meet my goals, I can always sell these and buy a set of 67s...

Here's an example of a 378 ci lsx with small twins and 317's making mid 900's on around 14 psi. https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...eo-inside.html
The only thing I see as a downside to doing a twin setup is everything costs double, and having to fab everything up. Then you look at that guy with the Nova and a single t-4 76 running 8.39's at over 164 mph...then you wonder why twins!!
