I hope this thing works well, We have had good luck luck thus far with off brand stuff. We will get some good measurements off it when it comes in.

I can't understand why people spend so much money on precisions when they have had so many failures over the past 2 years, don't contain failures, And they are killing people on rebuilds. The Only turbo companies it seems like worth spending good money on is BW and Garrett.

We have had ZERO issues with the tc76 ot tc78 turbos, can get new for 800 all the time and if on a GP can get for less than $700 shipped and still be good enough to make over 700rwhp reliably on JY setups.

Edit: and I am by no means suggesting that this turbo is going to keep up to the 7675 in spool or performance but it will be much closer hp wise than the other 76mm with tiny exhaust wheels.

My on3 was only $300 and Im positive it makes right at or a tough over 600rwhp. But Im not shooting for any records, just a very fast street truck. Ive also had zero issues with my turbo and we have had zero issues with the 2 on3 76's on Ren's car.

The ETD guy s told me they went out of stock but the add says 24 available. He also said you would have to wait some days before they would get any in. I would guess they are machining a new cover to make it look different. Or the supplier is the same and they are now stopping shipment so Magnum can sell you a $400 dollar turbo for $1100...

honestly i think this turbo is great, some of you might have miss understood.
im not sure my car can fully take advantage of this turbo.
seeing how it has done 700rwhp so far through an automatic definately puts it ahead of the gt45.
as far as our other builds this turbo is putting out more power than a BWs475 currently.
so that is something to think about.
maybe one day it'll go on the 6.0 i am building and we can see what kinda power its capable of. i am sure that motor will be able to take advantage of it

i know i just wanted to clarify one of my earlier posts said it wasnt worth buying.
i said that because i didnt think my combo would make the most out of the turbo, like i couold by a gt4788 and only make 600-700 because of other parts holding me back.
i thought some people might think that the turbo isnt worth the money.
wich is not what i mean, thats what i meant to clarify lol
