hey guys
was searching for a new Turbo kit for my car and bumped into this

anyone tried this? quality looks AMAZING by looking on the pictures.

am still aiming for the ETS T3 kits (PTE 6262 or 5857 Journal bearing) but am taking it easy due to international shipping charges so trying to take my time to hit it once and do it right.
any feedbacks would be appreciated
cheers

 

Bump

 

i would strongly suggest avoiding a journal bearing precision turbo like the plague.

 

why is that? Oo
did you have any issues with it?

 

Looks sick.

 

I agree! I think your best bet is to get a twin scroll HTA3586 1.06a/r or a single scroll HTA3582. Those would be sick on your 2.3L. If you want a nasty street car then go with the HTA3076 .82 a/r or 1.06a/r for a bit more topend. ETS can hook you up with all of this. Give Michael a ring

Thx for the feedbacks but i would like to hear why you guys dont like the PTE Journal bearing turbo's?
ye am in the process in studying my build with michael from ETS hope he will sort it out nicely

 

after one blew on me they sent me another that promptly blew. switched to a garrett and never had an issue. im not the only one, they seem to blow up on everyone.

 

^ That is beautiful! Looks like my stock turbo after I ran it 35+psi for a month!

ouch =/
so you say either go garrett or PTE BB.
damn thats not nice

 

personally i would go with a garrett bb, you just dont hear about them failing like you do with the precisions.

 

35 psi on a stock turbo? how did you pull that off?

 

It's called a 25psi wastegate and 90% Duty cycle. The fiance said I couldn't buy a red so I figured id I blew my stock turbo she would have no choice but to let me buy it. Of course she still doesn't know I intentionally blew the turbo. I however, that it would have lasted longer so it was a shock to me when I noticed after a month oil was coming out my exhaust.

im just shocked it could go that high even with the wastegate welded shut.

 

Actually I think Lucas at ER welded his wastegate shut at one point and I think he was seeing 38+psi.
