Default Turbo trade?!? Precision 78mm

I know this should probably go in the classifieds but I figured i'd be better off here.....I have a Precision 78mm turbo, .96ar, 3" DP. I have read a lot of threads that this turbo will hurt my top end and bog with my engine combination....was wondering if anyone wanted to trade or work out a deal for a turbo with a larger hotside which would benefit me....My turbo has literally 3 weeks of run time on it, went to the track twice for a total of 9 runs. It ran incredibly strong at 10 lbs. but I was only on a run tune and was not at the time able to turn up the boost....i will eventually be running around 18psi on a race tune and am told by alot of people on this forum(and others) that The turbo at 15 psi will run out of breathe and back up....SO....If anyone has a turbo, preferably larger as my cubes and compression can support a larger turbo, but a 76 with a 1.32 or so hotside will also be considered. Let me know. Thanks

I'd turn up your setup and see how it reacts before you change your hardware. It might make all the power you want/need.
