Boo

 

You run an oil restrictor? I know precision says not to. Pretty sure I'm going to use the .06" that I have on my Chinese turbo to transfer over to my precision.

 

No I didn’t

 

Was your truck running the turbo being stock first?

 

Huh?

 

I forgot did you have the turbo all hooked up and going around town before the ecu stuff?

 

No

 

I would go through the turbo, look for any dry/cracked orings. Rebuild and try again

 

Its

It’s brand new warranty

 

Sadness, well hopefully they swap it out real fast.

On another note I think I have a line on a full setup with Garrett turbo, manifold, downpipe, wastegate and oil pan. So hopefully the owner wants to move on that real fast.

 

I dont understand. It's brand new, so you are having it fixed under a warranty? Or it was a warranty rebuild that blew up again?

 

It’s brand new so they are going to fix it

 

You planning on going intercooled?

 

Yeah, the setup comes with a water to air core and pump

 

Nice. It sounds like that setup that Dick on CT was selling a While back

 

That's the one, I don't know anything about him. Decent guy?

 

He seems prettt legit. I’ve pm’d him a decent amount on there about random turbo related topics. He definitely is a very thorough guy and does his research before anything else. I think he was mainly selling that setup b/c he was having other isssues with his newly built motor and just wanted to keep things simpler. Iirc, he hadn’t even used the IC set up yet. What are the specs on that garret turbo?

 

Makes sense, this is what he said

Garrett T3/T04E 46 trim .48 A/R / .70 A/R built by Blasst performance

 

Should be pretty quick spooling. I’ll be interested to see how you like it. I’m ghinking about pulling my s/c as well and putting my turbo set up on. I’m tempted to swap the turbine housing for a .48 beforehand for a little earlier spool time.

 

I was thinking so too. What do you think of the S/C now that you've had both? I don't particularly like how it responds at all, and it seems to overwhelm the stock computer pretty rapidly.
