If I didn't just get an absolutly unpassable DEAL on a t66bb from a friend on the board, Ill tell you what my recent "shopping" lead me. I wanted to buy a 67, and email, pm'ed, and called a few venders on this board. I will admit that the best price I found was from mike from FT, in reguards to a 6776R, which is what I was looking for. but i went a different direction (t66bb) because it was such a good deal.
but if I was going to buy new, and right now(which I was). I would get the pte6776r with an h cover, dbb, 85 housing......if this tickles your pickle call full throttle. I got the best quote from him after all my rounds of pm's and phone calls. But those quotes didn't include warrenty talk, or taxes or shipping cost; just a ruff cost of the turbo alone. I wont say wat i was quoted, thats going alittle too far i think. Even isolating mike as the best price guy i feel bad, but it is what I experienced so I dont feel too bad posting what I experienced
a 66 or 67 are both killer turbos, in any of the trim's; p, q, dbb, single bb, they are both 10 seconds capable! Definitly the limit for most street cars who have some track time. But if your car see's mostly track time, just step up to a 70 and have the trim battles with that size of turbo. The cream of the crop will be (when it comes out offically) the pte67 dbb gtq, w/an H cover, .85 ex housing. That will be the 67 to end all 67's. But good luck on getting one of those, precision is back ordered on them, i tried myself! PTE told me on the phone some the tso and tsm guys are buyin those up and the wait would be a couple of months.
