Can I change this??

[Pat Adkins]

I have a GT6152 with a .63 precision housing (low miles & doesn't spool very fast), i also have a bad stock turbo that is taken apart. Could I use the garret housing on the 6152 & get the thing to spool faster? looks like all the bolts are the same I'm just wondering if it is adaptable or if I would have to change the exhaust turbine also.

You can send the Garrett housing to Limit to get it machined for the 6152 turbine wheel.

thanks for the response, would I just send in the housing or would I have to send the 6152 with it?

What converter you using? IMOP even with a stock converter that turbo should spool pretty damn well. I wouldn't go through all that trouble to switch it out. just build around that turbo. Hows the tune? what are you using to tune with?

stock convertor. tuning with scanmaster. car had a a ta49 & ran real good. the funding for the car is very low so I dont want to buy a convertor, new injectors & get a new chip , just want the damn thing to spool up quicker than it does for minimum payout.

I also have the exhaust wheel that was in the garret housing. could I use that instead of getting it machined?

Leave the turbo as is. The Garrett housing will help alot. A converter swap will help too. I would recommend both, but the exhaust housing will be cheaper.
As for chips and spool up. Turbo Tweak and Bailey Extender chips work great. I would recommend the extender chip with a translator. Both chips have great features. I would get a wideband and tune in the spool up AFR.

I already have a turbotweak chip, may need to get it exchanged. I still do not want to get into changing out the convertor yet.

called limit & they said they couldn't machine to fit a precision turbo since they don't have the tooling.
called precision & they said it wouldn't work. .

Rjc boost valve, pull some 1st gear fuel via chip, and no exhaust leaks.
