Honestly don't go precision... They have VERY poor quality control. My friends have now how 3 bad turbos in a row from them. The 6262 is a good idea. they do spool really quick, but they crapped out in less then 10 minutes. We back to a Garrett.

Has your friend tried putting oil through the turbo? 10 minutes.... was he trying to use it as a tree limb mulcher?

You are hilarious! You got me... Do a google search. Precision is a VERY poplular company with DSM's and hondas.... They suck... They have good ideas, but thats about it.

My friend put a SC61 on his Galant VR4 and it popped the oil seals in less then 10 mintutes and he is running a .035 oil restircor and everything. After playing tag with precision and them not wanting to replace the BRAND NEW turbo, they agreed on letting him pay the diffrence and got a PT67. To tell you how long it took. He had enough time to build and have ready a stroker motor for his Glant. That turbo came and same thing it popped in less then a day. both time under 15psi of boost. Precision refused to replace that turbo so he sued and won. He then had that turbo rebuilt with Garrett internals and sold it. He is now running a GT40R. Finally a guy named Arron who is running a Evo8 in town bought and waited 6 weeks for his 6262 and it popped at stock boost in less then an hour. The turbo was installed by a local and very reputable shop. That right there is enough for me to say im never going to buy a precision turbo.

I'm sorry, but he is obviously doing something wrong blowing two turbos in a day. My new garret t04s blew in 4 months, and my pt67 is working just fine. How the hell do you blow a turbo in 10 minutes lol. You know, it does take a bit of in boost time for the oil seals to actually wear in and seal right? lol Did you think it was blown cause there was smoke for 10 minutes of driving? lol These stories are great. My friend, from band camp, he was looking at this magazine that had a picture of precision turbo in it. Guess what! 10 minutes, oil was leaking ALL over the page. Walmart took 2 WEEKS to get his money back for the magazine.

Dude be a dick all you want. I don't care.... They didn't do anything wrong either. I didn't say they were a bad company or had bad stuff. I said they had shitty quality control. They let to many shitty turbo's onto the market. You obviously didn't do a google search on them. You show your ignorance to this issue by immediately saying that they did something wrong... Why then is there current turbo with the same setup working??? They changed nothing... They just got crappy turbos from the get go. Get over what ever is eating at you and pull the stick out of your ***... All I did was tell the experience that i have had with them. So **** off... Yay you have a good turbo... good for you. you are one of the few...

Saying that if I was going to buy another turbo I would never buy a Precision...

You caught me, I'm a lucky, ignorant, dick that is being eaten and has a stick in my butt. All I did was share my experiences, I didn't say you were a bad person. Stop crying. :Hugs: On with the topic at hand.

I'd like more info on the failures, like drain sizing, how they failed etc.

Were they smoking? Rattling? wheels flew apart?

I know a few EVO guys running these new precisions and I've yet to hear a bad thing about quality. It seems odd that a turbo could even completely destroy itself in literally 10 minutes of run time.

Speaking from direct personal experiences, I have not had ANY issues with my own presicion 71mm Billet turbo. Put down~800RWHP* (and thats thru an auto with a big stall*), run 31+psi on it regularly, done many track events on it running 9's@140+MPH 1/4mile in additon to many highway roll-ons and miles in general... after a full year ZERO problems/issues.

My very close friend runs a 6262 on his highly modded S2000 with race heads (head flow 380+CFM's) which revvs to 9000rpms, with no issues whatsoever as well. We dyno'd his S2000 at a record 727RWHP@35PSI (dropping to 30psi by redline*) and he's done a LOT of racing on his turbo as well, also daily drives his car.

People who are blowing three or more turbo back to back need to take a closer look at their OWN oiling systems and vehicle. Various turbos can be very sensative to the amount of oil they recieve, too much oil pressure can blow a seal, too little and obviously the bearings will burn it through, not a properly sized return line, etc, etc... To add, one oiling system that works fine for one turbo may fry another and vice versa.

Three turbo fried back-to-back?? No way, look at the oil feed & return, pressure, etc...

I can personally vouce for the PTE Billet turbos, very capable and perform head and shoulders above any other turbo me or my friends shop ever used. And there's my 2 cents...

I dont see how its Precisions fault that someone blows multiple turbos in a row. I think on the second one the owner should have realized he was probably doing something wrong. Ive used many PTE turbos and never had a problem. I do know other guys who have had problems, but almost every case it was caused by overspeeding the turbo.

I had a friend buy a new turbo for his sr20. Well when he put the drain flange on the turbo he forgot to pull out the little plastic plug. Car idled for a minute tops.... Started chugging smoke. It was literally spitting oil out of the tailpipe. He got all pissed off, calling the company and bitching. Threatening to go on forums and bash the company. Well when i pulled off his turbo i swapped the drain flange onto his newly purchased 6262. Thats when i saw the little piece of melted red plastic. Moral of the story....... Dont make assumptions until you know ALL the facts. And my friends 6262 has worked like a champ ever since

The subject of choosing a turbo can be so complicated & extensive...basically what are the best turbo choices while looking for a good 450-500whp w/ the quickest spool?

precision turbo saved my friends turbo ls1 lol... the pounded bearing blew the turbo before the knock was audible.

he didn't believe it at first, but precision said the brass in the oil wasn't from the turbo.

oh yea, free replacement.

Depends on the fuel type. On pump fuel I like the S363. You could go a bit smaller if you run E85 or race fuel.
