All new FP6466TZ!!
On the turbine wheel flow potential side of things - it looks like the 6466TZ uses the same turbine wheel as the HTA3794, based on the blurbs on FP's site... though that isn't specifically confirmed. If it is the same, then we know it's capable of allowing similar power numbers to the Precision 66mm turbine.
Definitely looking forward to seeing testing of this unit happening by someone somewhere, looks like it has potential

OK - reason I mentioned that is you said it will fit between the HTA3586 and PT6466 in flow, however the turbine wheel is proven at least on par with the PT6466 and the compressor is indicated so far to potentially be comparable... if all is as it cracks up to be it really could be a pretty exciting unit!
The PT6466 is a hell of a thing, be pretty exciting stuff if it has some solid competition

I'll step in since I have personally ran both housings on an 3586 and say that the 1.03 housing is not necessary unless your running nitrous or trying to squeeze every last drop out of the turbo. The .82 is plenty

Who has said that, is it from testing, solid theory or Precision fanboi (or seller) logic?
In all fairness I do think FP are pretty brave throwing down the challenge naming it after the Precision turbo - the Precision unit is the one to beat in this class, for good reason. I would guess that best case scenario would be that this comparison goes like the 6766 vs HTA3794, the PT6466 spools a little better and the 6466TZ makes more power.

But yes, I agree with you on the 6766 vs 3794 comparison. I'm betting it will be something of that nature as well.
The question is, would the top end that the 6466TZ (supposedly) produce compensate for the narrower powerband?
We need comparisons ASAP!
