Only problem is i got a PT88 but im running stock cubes custom cam and 317 my question is should i trade for a gt76 or similar turbo or go with the pt88 and see what it can do (just curious to see being that i cant find any numbers on this setup) keeping in mind this is a brand new pt88 just a couple start ups on it and planning on building a new engine in the near future. someone put in some input befor a schudule a tune thanks

I'd do the 76....I would trade you for the pt88 if you're interested i have a couple nice borg warners, precisions and turbonetics in the 76mm size range that would be better for a engine like yours. PM me if you're interested! If you can send me pictures to xfenix999x@aol.com or put them in PM.

I gotta Precision T76 I bought off a member on here. Low mileage. I think he only started his car up and drove it around a few miles, then had head gaskets leaking. He had another project and wanted to start on it. That's how I aquired it. I haven't put it on anything yet. I'm going to build a forged 6.0 and would like a larger turbo. If your interested in trading, PM me. I would might give a lil cash in with the trade too.

I guess what I'm looking for is some to say it's not going to make any power under the curve. I would like to keep it because I'm planning on building a 370 but if Thiers a unit I can get away with using for both.. Also what units would be a far trade for a pt88

why not just use a smaller housing while the motor is stock cubes, then a bigger one when the motor gets bigger?

I have a Garrett 76 T4 and would love that turbo even though I only have stock cubes for now but I dont think I could fit it where I have mine mounted now.

I like the 76gts I ran it on my car and loved it. And a pt88 wouldnt be in its efficency range and 9 or 10 lbs your barely working that thing.
