    PTE-44 Vs. TE-44 Turbo Turbo???

    I bought this PTE-44 Turbo from Precision many years ago.I made a big mistake with swapping a Garret .63 Housing for the PTE .63 Housing.I swapped Housing's with a guy on here plus some cash for me.I don't think I have the money for a BB 6161 or BB6157 so I was thinking of going back and just...

    Does A Racegate Slow The Spooling Of A Turbo???

    I had this Turbonetics Racegate installed about 13 years ago along with a Hi-FI 60-1 Turbo.I called Precision a few years back and was told that because the Racegate or wastegate is so far away from the Turbo that why my Turbo doesn't spool fast.Precision recommended the THDP to get rid of the...

    So Whats The Baddest Street Turbo Out There???

    I have heard that the GT-61BB is a great Street Turbo.I don't plan on going with a new converter higher then 3200.There are some guys that will say go straight to a 66 or 67BB but the GT-61 or 6152 Turbo should be enough Turbo for the street.Also it probably spools a bit quicker then the CPT-66...

    Best way to get 02 Volts from Scanmaster???

    I have heard to leave the car in 2nd and from 40 mph to 80mph that should give an accurate reading.The difference in my car is that I have 3:73 Gear's but I do have 28 Inch tall tire's in the back.I guess that would bring my Gearing down somewhere between 3.50 to3.55.Instead should I just keep...

    Im not sure where the heck to put the RJC valve.I put it on near the turbo a few months back but it didn't help with the spooling.I kind of knew it wasn't going to work because I do not have a stock type of wastegate.I have a Racegate near the middle of the Racegate.I wonder if anyone has this...
