Precision must have went in the toilet cause years ago my T76GTS was AWESOME, made great power and never had a single issue over 10k+ miles and I used the dreaded oil restrictor in the feed line.

I would check with viren on that. I've used both and i think the compressor cover has a different contour inside for each.

That still has nothing to do with manufacturing tolerances. The manufacturer makes parts to whatever tolerances the customer requests, they don't just send the crappier parts to one customer and the better ones to another. Whatever the order is, that's what we make, regardless of whether the parts are identical dimensionally or to whom the parts are shipped. I've actually made identical parts for two different customers before - the only difference was the name we put on the part - but we didn't mix-n-match them nor sort through them, we just made whatever the order was and that was that. This is also why an OEM supplier =/= to an OEM part.

how much whp does the vs 7875 support ?

TrendSetter

they 'fail a lot' because theyre on all the fastest cars and are pushed extremely hard. almost any other turbo on those same cars wouldnt make within 100hp.

I agree, I've been shocked at the bad press lately from street car people who've trashed Precision.

while my limited personal experience with PTE has been not quite encouraging, if you watch any of the no prep stuff or cash days, etc...you begin to see a trend in which cars have PTE stickers and what kinda results they get.

I don't know hp. but ive seen one go 9.40 at 140 mph on a 5.3 in a 3500 lb backhalf car. 21 psi .

Wrong, there's about a 40-50whp hit in power. Really, everything you just said is wrong.

They definitely make power. Their wheel designs are top notch and they go through the R&D to find out which set of wheels should be paired together for maximum efficiency.

That being said, I've been the victim of 2 brand new yet oil puking overpriced Precision turbos, as well as having my life saved by the glass separating me from the dyno room when a compressor wheel decided to become a supersonic weapon.
There are videos on youtube of Precision wheels becoming projectiles. Google will also lead you to thousands and thousands of complaints about bad turbos. I'm not sure if maybe its a street car thing or not? Most race cars seem to do fine with them, but the amount of run-time on them is typically way down compared to your average street car.

Yeah the one I tried to use sheared the shaft at the compressor wheel. The wheel didn't escape, but PTE wouldn't even quote a rebuild. Comp housing was scrap. On the shelf it sits, the guy bought a 7875 and hasnt looked back.

Now, given that it was a used unit with a questionable origin...third or fouth hand from someone whos a somebody at ETS...supposedly

I havent done any research into it really. I just see the stickers all over 1320 video and stuff.

I'm plenty happy with my china boys. Still havent gone past 12 psi with this vsr s480 and already pushing through the converter

the billet 7875 took my full size truck to 11.18 at 8 psi, on pump gas. I mean, thats pretty difficult to beat, cost-wise.

That must be nice. I make parts that go straight to OEMs and parts that go through 3 different middlemen before they get put on a car. We have never had 2 different QC specs for a part. The difference in quality control checks between companies, and even different customer divisions of those companies can be huge..

TrendSetter

theres a reason theyre on almost all of the fastest cars. hate all you want, pte is pricey and people break them, but they make the most power hands down.

Lol....

Holdener has been testing a few different turbos and combos lately on FB....and the likes of Precision performed considerably better than it's Chinese wannabes

And with more testing to come

Do all the real fast racers actually pay for there turbos? Or are they sponsored?

ZEN357

I would be hesitant to skimp on a turbo on my vehicle. Just saying. You get what you pay for.....

JoeNova

Take note that it was also making MUCH more boost than any of the others. Not an apples to apples comparison.

Game ova

Precision billet 76/75 lasted all of about 10k miles, China knockoff....2 years and about the same mileage later, still going strong. Thought it had let go a while back, but it was the name brand scavenge pump instead. There's absolutely nothing wrong with China turbos, other than they don't make quite the power of let's say a precision unit. But they last just as long, if not longer.

stevieturbo

Boost aspect was a little odd...but they did say this was wastegate only, no bleed offs etc etc. So the only reason for higher boost with the Precision must be boost creep ?. But it was making more power everywhere anyway
