Precision GT3255A turbo w/Precision .63 exhaust housing and billet inlet bell.

I bought this brand new from a board member in October last year. He purchased it new but never got around to installing it. Here’s the link: http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/th...t-neck-stock-intercooler.401667/#post-3303793

This turbo is still on the car but it should be coming off in about 2 weeks. I bought it for temporary use only while my other turbo was being rebuilt but it worked so well I kept it on longer than originally intended. This turbo works very well with a stock D5 converter and performance is very similar to that of a TA49, if not better. It only has 355 miles on it and it’s being used with a Turbo Protector to ensure it's only fed clean filtered oil. Turbo has no known issues. The only thing I didn’t like was that my stock turbo shield would not fit without modifications so I just left it off. Other than that this is a fantastic street turbo that will out perform a stock turbo in every way above 18lbs boost AND will work very well without needing a converter upgrade. I’m only selling because I’m putting my TA60 back on the car along with a new converter.

Shipping is included in the price as long as you’re in the U.S.

$450 shipped USPS standard post. I can also ship USPS flat rate for $430 BUT this would require disassembly of the compressor and exhaust housings in order to make it fit.

Buyer pays for the ride if they want a different shipping option. I’m located in Hawaii so cost to ship will be more than you’re probably used to.

Here are pics of it from last October just before I installed it. Only difference from then to now is that the exhaust housing is now discolored due to the heat.

Do you think the 60 is a better turbo?
Honestly, I felt very little difference going from the 60 to the GT32. I ran them both at 25lbs and from what little I could tell the 60 might have had a little more on top but they felt pretty similar to me. I'd really like to run my turbo shield again without having to modify it. Since I have this rebuilt 60 laying around I figured I'd slap it back on along with a matching converter in hopes to pickup some performance.
