TA TURBO???

 

[BIGPSI]

doesn't look nice enough to go on any of your cars!

 

[ZNix]

Does not look like a TA "stock appearing" turbo in my opinion. Don't forget that they tighten up a little with added oil.

Nix

Looks like the t350 ex wheel with a to4e 60 trim compressor. I think Precision sold those as a PT51? Anyway the compressor appears to have contacted the compressor housing and .004 is on the high side of any spec for a journal bearing configuration. The only way the wheel can hit the housings like that is if the journal bearings, journal, or housing (or a combination) are worn. Great packing job btw.

Bobby the turbo works amazing!!! And yes it does have 8k on it the car was sitting for 7yrs before. I bought it any questions you have my number I know what that turbo has and what it can do!!!!

 

[JayC]

Thats not a stock appearing turbo. Those are TA's, thats a TE.

Call Precision. The turbo should have a serial number on the compressor housing. They can tell you how old it is.

Maybe that turbo does only have 8K on it but if thats the case, Id like to see what the rest of the engine bay looked like. And yea, it does look like the wheel hit the housing at some point but that could be camera trickery so maybe not.

 

[BobbyBuick]

Tommy it is a TE turbo not a TA and it is a core thats it

 

[RIFF RAFF]

If thats the case, dude.. that turbo doesnt have 8K on it. Im not ragging you out or anything.. if you were told it had 8k on it then so be it but it appears to have much more. You were apparently given bad information.

 

[bison]

Mileage shouldnt matter on a turbo. They dont fail because of mileage.

 

[chops]
