Turbine housing questions

[Brooks]

Greetings all, I've seen several posts comparing the PTE turbine housing to the Garret housings with the nod going to the PTE housing by .2 and 2mph (most often mentioned numbers).

Has anybody ever compared the PTE housing with the Turbonetics housings? The turbonetics housings are quite a bit larger than the Garret housings and I'm wondering if there is any advantage to going to a PTE housing of the same A/R.

I'm particularly interested in any information comparing these two housings on a larger turbo like a T66.

Thanks for any input,

Charles Brooks

I have a stage 5 turbonetics 60-1 .82a/r, before I had it jet coated I didn't care for the racegate mount on it (big block off plate) I asked jack cotton (who I got it from) If I should change it to a pte .82 a/r 2th's / 2mph and he said "don't do it, the turbonetics housing is as good as it gets" So take it for what it's worth

Thanks for the reply Russ, I've run across other people that say the same thing but never anybody that has done a comparison.

There seem to be far fewer people making the change from the Turbonetics turbine housing to the PTE turbine housing.
