uhhh... why pay precision prices for a garrett turbo?

precisions are nice, but made with garrett parts. just call them and ask them! why pay more for a precision turbo just to get a garrett?

buy the garrett, you WILL be satisfied.

You can buy Precision's for less than 700. Just search around...

Art retails them.

If you look at the differences, precision turbos come standard with 360 degree thrust bearings, the garret ones that cheapturbo sell do not come standard with that price, it is a $200 dollar upgrade or somewhere around there, also, the 5 bolt turbine housing is extra $50 and that comes standard on the precision. The precision turbos are the best bang for the buck, but that is just my personal preference. Paul

Im using a Garrett right now... I think if I were to make the choice again, I would go with a Precision though. The local Supra shop uses them on all their cars, and race cars. They seem to be very nice turbos.

the 360 upgrade is only 75 dollars not 200

the t3/60-1's come with a 360 deg standard. For 5bolt turbo's can't beat Art's precision turbo's.

If you are gonna get a ball bearing turbo, make sure to get a full ball bearing center section(dual ball bearing). It won't be worth the money to get just a single row ball bearing center section.

please tell me what Garett Turbo makes 700+whp in a t3/t4 combo like the Precision Turbo sc63?? The reason you pay for precision over the Garret "shelf" turbo's is so you get a custom turbo designed for you hp and driving needs. The precsion turbos make more hp to the wheels than a garett or turbonetics in the same size turbo. Dont forget they cast their own housings also. most are ported too. do you think cheapturbos come ported?? also, the internals are garret parts yes, but they are not garett configurations. Precision designs their turbos with their own specific wheel configurations. Thats why they make more Hp in smaller turbos than the competition!!! when you buy from cheapturbo, thats exactly what you get, a cheap turbo. not saying they are bad but you get what you pay for and precision prices are much more fair than turbonetics hands down!!!!

Oh and the extra 200.00 is worth the customer service you receive from Precision. Plenty of people on here can vouch for this. i have read about, spoke to and had my own customers decide to change turbos after using them and precision switched them out or rebuilt theres to new specs free of charge. I'm not sure how long a company can do that for but I can tell you peopel dont forget **** like that. Thats what keeps them a loyal customer for a long time. Customer service!!!!

I'd go w/ turbonettics. I can only speak from experience, but I have a turbonetics turbo on my sol and my teg, and it gets the job done.

Me too. They are set at a fixed price pretty much by precision and they are more than fair at 775.00!!!

Oh...well sorry.

I got mine at a REALLY good price then. But now that I think about it, that was back when precision just came out with the SC series.

why??? garret, turbonetics, precision, hks, whoever... they all use garret technology..... alll the upgrades you would by with a garret or turbonetics come standard on the Precicision stuff, plus from what i understand the assembly construction of Precision stuff has more attention to detail than garret or turbonetics
