Anyone ever try a PT8285 My buddy and I were talking about this and he thinks this would be a nasty setup on one of our cars. I tried searching but found nothing. What do yall think?
Two other very close options since Precision reliability is not so great these days, factory Borg Warner billet 82mm turbo can be had for about half the price and is probably more reliable. Garrett GTX4508 is cheaper and genuine Garrett, but 80mm instead of 82mm. Both billet and both very comparable turbines.

I have not tried a PT8285. I have tried the PTE HP8284. It has billet compressor designed for high pressure ratios and it uses a turbine that out flows the standard PT8285 turbine. Not sure how it compares to the new PTE CEA turbine.
The HP8284 has been great. Made over 1000rwhp on through a locked auto, built one ton driveline and 35" tall tires.
