Very interesting, especially considering I just bought a Garrett turbo (from an authorized supplier)

Interesting info. I've witnessed good things from Precision turbos (lower boost), but you still get what you pay for.

Awesome info. Thanks for posting.

I wish I could find something like that on Holset turbos. Since this is what I run 90% of the time.
