Default Garrett vs. Precision Turbos - need help deciding

I'm piecing together my turbo setup and I thought I was set on a Garrett t3/t04e 57 trim .48 a/r for my ls swapped eh3. The problem is that I have heard a lot of good things about Precision turbos. What SC Precision turbo is similar to the Garrett and is it worth the extra cash? Any other suggestions on a streetable turbo? Thanks...

BTW, swap setup is:
b18b1
b16 tranny w/ obx lsd

I would just get Garrett and spend extra money somewhere else.

Precision turbo's are made by garret and are basically the samething other than precision makes there own exhaust housings and they have the newer wheels.

Save your cash and buy the Garrett. The only precision worth the hype in the T3/T4-Series is the SC-61.

It's looking like the precision is actually cheaper when you upgrade to the 5-bolt and 360 bearing. Anyone with a sc34 or sc50 on their b18b1?

Precision Turbo sells Garret turbo products. Order from Precision or Garret and u will be getting the same thing.

Order from Precision and save some money...
