You have to call or email for upgrade.
Devin@dktperformamce.com
( mods delete that if you have to, but no sponsor has a ball bearing upgrade for APS. So I hope that didnt break rules)

They are custom turbine housings. DKT linked up with Precision to have custom housings made. I got a per order and my friend with a C5 APS kit got on pre order. DKT says they will fit C5, F-Body kits for sure. They are looking for guys with GTO & G8 to test fit. But idk anyone with those, so..........

^^^^ thank god i dont sell turbos. lol. i dont know. i was just swinging in the dark. i cant find info on the Precision site. i will have to Call Devin tomorrow. but on Garretts site it says the GTX35( which the 6262 had billet wheel also) flows 75lb/min. which if that is the case, that should be like 750 a turbo. lol. i hope i did that math right. lol.

I dont know. I know that i got ducked over on the first APS turbos, and bought extrems from APS. both journal bearings. both went bad. had a State side company rebuild the extreme(name not given but well known), and it went ****. i am tired of spending money on journal bearing turbos. so even if thes make the smae power as LG turbos and cost more. i really dont care. i love the fact there is a ball bearing option. requires less oil. spins more freely between gears. and Precision knows there ****. tons on sponsors on here run them. i had no problem getting on the preorder list.
sorry i will end my rant. just putting my tech advice about my experiance with journal turbos

I think the 6262 turbo has a 62mm compressor inducer with a 82mm exducer. The upgrade journal bearing turbos out there have a 60mm compressor inducer and can have an 82mm exducer. The PTE turbos are probably good for about 20-30 more HP on paper but do give the nice ball-bearing option.
I'm really looking forward to the results andits good someone else is making headway on good replacements. Options are nice to have.

I am dropping these bad boys into my Orange C5 with an aps kit.
I will let everyone know the results.
I couldn't use the same compressor side as the turbo's pictured above in the earlier post.
