Precision 6176bb vs cpt 61

[dvernst]

I'm probably going to buy the Precision turbo over the Turbonetics.... Does this sound like a good choice? Thank you.

Your only gaining the Ball Bearing aspect which will bring power from a roll on quicker. Real question is, is that worth the price difference?? You will not make more power, just bring the power in slightly sooner.

And I have seen more BB failures than journal bearing over the last year so do some searching. I personally think they are way to sensitive unlike the marketing says.

I have the cpt-61 Turbonetics. BB, water jacketed center section. 4" in 3" out. So far, I like it. I haven't had much seat time yet, but it seems to be a good turbo. I had a TE44. This newer one may prove to pick the car up a bit...I'm hoping. It wasn't hooking up very well anyway, but I just got some MT DR that hope will hook better than the Nittos. Look at the Turbonetics website. They give alot of good info, they also have a forums.
I have picks of the final install on my website if your interested.

Inlet?

What is the inlet size? Nice site you have, one Nice TTA. Turbo installation is clean, gorgeous engine bay.
