I just read Bill's response and the reasoning, who knows, it could be true but if they dropped bullseye for other reasons, you think we'd really find out the real answer. They probably were just sick of hearing Bill answering the phone.

Re: borg warner drops bullseye?
I havent seen a comparison of the BEP 72 and the new Precision 72. I know that some of the fastest people are running the Precision units and some are also on the BEP. I am sure the precision 72's will gain some popularity from guys that are wanting to make that much more power ( if it does, i personally dont know) and or longer life span, but those things are BIG $$$$$.
I would imagine that if your BEP turbo needs rebuilding that they can do it, and if not then I am sure borg warner can, I doubt that part of the turbo has changed by BEP.

Re: borg warner drops bullseye?
I heard about this the other day, good news imo...
Precision stepped it up the last couple years and they have been helping out the racers in the domestic market big time.
Borg, Garrett and Precision are all great to deal with.

IMO Garrett was and probably will always be king as far as reliability.
Precision is really steping it up though as far as making power with their new wheel designs.

Re: borg warner drops bullseye?
its all a matter of opinion you cant deny BEP and their power production vs cost vs cross platform compatibility vs their competition. I love mine, and im not trying to run 8's right now so i don't need a $3,000 Turbo.

Re: borg warner drops bullseye?
Did Borg "drop" BEP...yes. But that actually has nothing to do with the recent activity and bad press that some would like to think. The situation didn't come about overnight. It basically stemmed from a "supply/demand" matter. Borg wasn't stocking and getting the needed parts over as they used to which was leading to excessive wait times. In turn BEP had to source the parts from other dealers to keep theire customers from having to wait. This made the purchase #s drop from Borg, causing Borg to drop them. BEP was doing what they had to do to fill theire customers orders in a timely manner. BEP is doing fine, still handeling their business, shipping orders and taking care of their customers.
Edit: FWIW, BEP was not the only co dropped.
