    Hey guys, I am just ckecking the waters for a nicely used 88mm. Billet or BB, doesnt have to be both. I am looking heavily into the new Precission 88/89 and have gotten some good quotes on this, but wanted to double check first for used. Thanks

    hey big guy. No I still have it, but really wanting to go down the an 88, sell the 91 and be done. I can enter more classes out in TX with the 88 and completely own the Clash of the Titans Cheap Street. I think its time and have been on the fence for 3 yrs now, so we will see soon enough :)

    It appears to be a 80mm unit not a 88. Quint, I would steer clear of Turbonetics turbos, their performance numbers are inferior to Precisions and Garrets stuff for what you are looking to do. :cool:

    Hey bud. I agree. I have a deal right not pending on a Precission/Garrett 47/80, never used and he wants my turbo for his project. I am all over it and I have spoken with Cal a couple of times about the advantages of these newer but smaller turbo's from Precission/Garrett. The car will love having something smaller in there with out having to use the Juice to spool it and will also allow me more room to dial the boost in and ramp up speed will be night and day better. I beleive the turbo will max out around the 8.20-8.30's if set up right, which is more then fine for now, things considered :cool:

    We shall see very soon!

    If you still consider selling your current turbo then PM me with spec and price.

    The 89/88 will for sure get you 8.20's and better. I know the small 88/47H turbo from PTE would have ran 170+ and most likely 8teens with everything right on the old combo of mine. I would give Mike Licht a call and give him a shot at the turbo sale as well if you are buying one. He has AWAYS given me the best prices on my parts and is a great guy to deal with.
