I would stick with the PTE. Even if it doesnt last as long....the value in price is awesome and Ive always made great power with them!

 

Yea stick with pte.... Even if your turbo breaks apart at high speeds and sends metal shrapnal flying, you might be seriously hurt, but hey you saved some money


I personally will NEVER buy a pte turbo after seeing multiple stories of them coming apart. Im sure the good to bad ratio is small, but thats not a chance im willing to take

 

is there any shop or any customer currently testing or using the 3786 HTA ?

Yea, we got a 6766 sitting here that came apart at the top of 4th gear at the track. It pretty much exploded inside the CHRA.

 

Its very dangerous when the parts are not contained when it explodes...

Just read a thread from garrett addressing the problems with pte. Very interesting and its all ptes neglegance

 

Link to thread ? Id like to read it

Thanks

 

This x1000.

Honestly though, a 3586 is more of a 700whp turbo on E85. A 3794 will make your power, but will be extremely laggy on a 2.0L, and if you can't rev to 9500-10K it's nearly useless as your powerband will be incredibly small.

I would go with the 3794 if your car functions well at high rpms. If not, I'd stick with the 3586 and compromise at 700whp.

 

great thread. glad pte is being exposed for what they really are.

 

Yea,That was a good read.. I wonder if that is why FP randomly raised there prices!?

 

damn and i was thinking about getting the pte6466 oh well, the new hta3786 looks nice!

 

Just to clarify, these are big turbos this stuff is happening on. Does that mean it wont happen on the smaller ones? Who knows, but after reading that i lost all faith in pte

 

it happens on all sizes. a couple guys on the subaru forum lost turbine wheels on 35r size pte's. i had 2 different pte's eat oil seals and fill my downpipe and wideband with oil twice for no reason at all within 3k miles.

 

Turbos just fail for no reason especially on Subaru's. Especially journal bearing turbos. Hahaha. Your a funny guy sometimes!
