What is your favorite turbo? Respond with what you chose in the poll and why. It doesn't have to be the turbo that you have, just your preference. Let's get some discussion going!
I would choose Garrett because of their reputation (ball-bearing) and because I have one, but I choose Borg Warner because of they are top-rated turbos out. Especially the new EFR turbos :drooling:
precision.. been recommended to me by the best and to all events and tracks ive been cars winning are running precision turbos.
Precision for great, budget quality, Borg Warner if you live at home still. If you don't, buying one of these will force you to move back in with your parents. Great awesome wonderful quality, but you pay for it.
^ You forgot to vote in the poll, lol :wavey:
i voted precision, because there is alot more to choose from than just the ancient 30-35r. also because every single bad ass drag civic you see runs a precision..
jotech...T1..NRGtech.. the list goes on. there all using precision turbos.
full-race is a big fan of garrett turbos..
if u wanna see how well they do in drag racing, watch there episode on pinks..
lmao
i pic bw cuz best bang for ur buck and the engineering is the shit. only 17-2000 and u get way more ish, dont have to fck w/ bov springs, hondata/mac ebc vac lines.
thing i dont like thou is i cant show off a bov to and bitches at the meet :sadface:
next id probally pic precision cuz they have so many options and better power for psi
Nice info, other people need to vote in! Where's everyone?
As for now I'm running a Garrett 30r but my vote goes with precision.
Borg Warner first because they went out on a limb and designed a turbo specifically for aftermarket turbocharging and put the best of every technology we already had on turbos and added the new titanium-aluminum turbine wheels. This is a something hopefully we will see in more turbos... one day lol...
Precision 2nd which is what ill be running. 5857 BB billet ftw!
ive tried contacting people over at BW and Precision and BW > Precision on customer service but i assume it because $10,000>$3,000 LOL
Garrett because I have heard of to many precision failures and had one Garrett and think they build quality stuff .Also tell me of a factory car that runs a precision ? Auto manufactures want a product to last thats why they run Garrett
Precision here. Love my 6265. Had a garett 60-1 and needed a rebuild after 1 summer :(. My turbonetics lasted longer
Its hit or miss with all of them I think Garrett , Borg warner and precision are best turbos out there
What a symmetrical poll :giggle: :backtotopic:
Garrett gtx have gtx30r in my 06 s2 did 12psi 434whp 93 0ctane10k miles no issue. Was done on a dino that reads low (forget what dino is called,but its type you drive on and strap down)

Dynojet or mustang dyno.
AGP!!!! Is what I got and I heard that the same company who makes garrett(Honeywell) also makes BW......
Isn't an AGP a hybrid?Quote:

Oh that's right. Str8JDM used to have a neon srt4, thats why it sounds familiar. ThanksQuote:

Maybe s400sx? :P haha JK!
I love my precision it's just a journal bearing but it has given me 0 issues what's so ever.

I love my GT3076, never given me an issue, sounds awesome while spooling, and has great response for street driving.
^ +1 on the GT3076R. Awesome turbo, great powerband, beautiful, quick spool, and never gave me a problem.

I say holset for reliability. Precision for all out performance
I would have voted Borg Warner but they are out of my price range and I've never used one... I am however on my 3rd Precision turbo and have always had good luck with them. I love my 6262 on my K24 setup. Spools up great and holds power throughout my power band. Love it.
Garrett for me, they pioneered a lot of the technology most of these companies try to copy. Not to mention the superior build quality of their turbos.
Well i voted for PTE, and my reason follows:
For one i went boost back in 2010, and ever since day one i have owned 3 of their turbos,
PTE 5857 .63AR
PTE 6031 .63AR
PTE 6266 .82AR
All 3 turbos have been journal bearing and never failed me.
Borg warner EFR hands down! The EFR range is head and shoulders above their competition..
For me there is more to a turbo than the peak hp it will make,, the Efr range does the top end stuff and everything else too. Most of the other names can only manage the power part. Precision and garret are still relying on old technology and materials.. That's fine for big power. But not great for everything else
