Default 4.8 turbo selection

Hey guys so I'm doing a semi budget build on my 4.8 crew cab and not too sure how trust worthy thone on3 or vs racing turbos are, I don't really want my daily driver giving out on me. Trying to avoid spending 1k on a precision turbo but if I absolutely have to I will

Hey bud, I was going to go Precision for my first turbo, but after reading the horror stories lately, I decided to go On3 as it was about a 75/25 spread on positive reviews. Its cheaper, but means cheaper to replace if something happens. From the reviews ive seen the past couple weeks, precision doesnt seem to stand by their product anymore. With that said, i got a 4.8 in my jeep that i decided to go with an On3 70mm for a fast spool since i offroad. Good luck on your build!

Turbonetics are very reliable. Only thing I use on any projects. Mine or customers. Can't afford to take a chance on on3s etc.
I have to pay out of my pocket if something goes wrong and I gotta warranty the turbo. Never have had an issue w turbonetics to date. And they answer the phone and emails.😆
