Speak to Precision. Their range is huge and they will have some cheaper units that will do everything you need.

read thread title

ok guys here's the 2 i like, tell me which you guys would pick if they were in frt of ya. this boat will flash to 5k jus like it had a 5k stall leaving the hole, so spooln a slightly bigger turbine isnt a prob most of the times.

Do the rules say you have to buy junk off egay ?

Example, capable of 600+ and recommended selling price of less than US$600, so may be possible to buy cheaper.
So you have a massive range to choose from, they'll have a local warranty etc

Buying ***** is fine if you're happy knowing it wont last long and will need replaced. But for twins you'd need to buy two pieces of **** off egay, not just one.

ive read nuff local posts from guys here in the u.s, running these turbs and im fine with running them myself at this point.300 to my door isnt bad for a turbo that'll last 3-4yrs at 15lbs and race abuse, not to mention they're goin in a dragboat with a 500 buck motor and that we can feed the oil gallery housing a constant flow of 70-80* water ive read thread after thread about the godspeed t67's lasting yrs on guys that jus beat the **** outta their stuff ont the tracks, so that's what we're goin with.


ordering a pair of these and building our own over transom style jetboat twin turbo headers and jus dumping the turbs about 12inches past the turbine

These are the turbos I am using for my 5.3 They work really well for the cid at 15 psi.
and good to well past 800 hp.
I chose these over the more expensive Precision or Garrett turbos because of my "newbie" efi tuning experience, I figure if I blow up my $500.00 engine more than likely the turbos would be damaged as well with piston pieces running thru the turbine. And I am pretty sure NO turbo manufacture will warrant that kind of damage.
So far after 2 years of weekend flogging, I have not had a single issue with these, no oil leaks, excessive bearing clearance etc. Just my 2 cents

In before the lock of posting non sponsor links.

It is hard to read anything with the lack of proper English and punctuation.
