Default CEA Turbo?

Just damaged my T6766 exhaust wheel and need to change it.
Can I buy only CEA CHRA and keep the housing?

Is There à difference between T6766 and T6766 CEA?

Thks

pte only has one 6766, so you are inquiring multiple "part numbers" of the same thing. unless you got this t6766 from somewhere else other than precision

OK I understand, I thought that there was 2 differents PTE T6766 one CEA and another not.
SO I need to change only the CHRA.

Is it possible to change only the exhaust wheel?

Theres no reason you cant just change the exhaust wheel, just be sure you have it balanced with the whole setup.

I thought the 66 wheel was a Turbonetics wheel that PTE called "their own"?

Ah. You need to change the exhaust wheel and shaft, and have it rebalanced to match with your current compressor wheel. If you have a 66mm from Precision, you'll need to send it back to them, as they don't sell that separately.

CEA is unfortunately misused for both compressor AND exhaust wheels. Precision won''t allow their exhaust wheels to be exchanged into cartridges other than their own. They use their own exhaust wheels that are of a different width than the P-Trim that is used in the standard Turbonetics and Garretts, so make sure you have the nomenclature right.

If you bought the "CEA" ( some of us other turbo gurus have a different name for those initials I won't divulge ) Precision turbo, send it back for repair. They may do a full rebuild check to do so. Its a shame they don't sell their parts independently like Garrett or Turbonetics. You could go to your Garrett dealer in France and have it replaced there.

thank you I bought my T6766 on December 2011 but I think it was a "Billet" one.
I didn't know that CEA was a sort of "billet" Turbo by PTE.

I need to send them back, you are right.

Its a marketing tactic used for BOTH parts. Precision doesn't want its customers to use the term "billet" when it comes to referencing its compressor wheels. They want you to think that CEA (Competition Engineered Aerodynamics) is different than anything else in the world...when its not, at least from my mind currently. I'm waiting on them to change the game even more than they have.. When that happens, I'll be truly pleased.

When Precison stopped utilizing turbonetics exhaust wheels, and went with a proprietary design, they decided to use the "CEA" name for their turbine wheels as well the compressor wheels that they use.

No. No one does, they typically have you send it in, and then give you the price. You might as well have a full internal rebuild of the unit while you are sending it out. Give them an e-mail. They may give you an answer.

or dont run larger precision turbos because if this doesnt happen, then the compressor wheel flexing at high pressure levels will....

then you'll be back to square one
