ALG JOT Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I know of the well known turbo companies out there and have contacted them but most of them. But most of them are saying they either wouldn't touch them or be better of going direct due to specific parts not being available locally. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with getting these refurbished. If so who did you use and what was parts sourcing like for it. I heard they can be done here if its just a simple refresh and balance. But anything more then there could be a really long wait on parts etc. Thanks, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I was in the same boat as you last year with my Precision 6772, called AET turbos who said they could do it. http://www.aet-turbos.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you need any parts replacing then or was it just a service? Also what was the end bill if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I didnt go through with it in the end, it puffed a bit of smoke now and again, but I got the boroscope on it and the turbine was dry, so must have been the engine. The quoted around 300, that was a couple of years ago on a DBB unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 why not speak to precision about a replacement CHRA like you buy for all garrett turbochargers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 AET can repair them but sometimes its the parts that are an issue as they are specific to Precision and have to come from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Try Owen Developments, they are a precision dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 From what I've heard, a lot of precision turbos, actually have garrett internals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBDevelopments Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 It's precisely situations like this that make me only use Garrett ! same here mate, 1 phone call and can get a brand new CHRA here in a matter of days. 90% of precision turbochargers are just reworked garrett GT range anyway, typically just changing the compressor in the HTA series Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Trouble is, Garrett and BW can't compare to Precision for power and spool time, I'm a huge Precision fan, I wanted to fit them to my GTR but I just could not figure out which ones to go for, so played safe and fitted the Garrett GTX turbos that I knew fitted, it's the only thing I regret about my build. Precision FTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precision FTW. The billet Borg Warner's are really working now mate, 850bhp at the hubs on a 66mm with super fast spool up too. And you can buy one for under £1000 inc vat.

Bit hard to compare though unless it's on the same dyno, same mapper, same cams, manifold design, inlet manifold, etc etc. Put one on the same car and do a back to back test, if be very interested to see what the difference is.

They don't have them I'm afraid, compressor maps are only available for off the shelf turbos normally. This is a Boostlab Borg Warner turbo, they just stick a billet comp wheel on the standard turbo. I've just been informed that Borg Warner have just released there own off the shelf billet turbos though which should have comp maps available.

All of the above is the same mate, only thing changing is the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALG JOT Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks for the replies guys. I am waiting to hear back from AET at the moment. Agree with Jamie as well. I wanted to switch to Garrett for ease of repair but just love how quick this turbo spools. That being one of the main reasons i want to stick with it. Will try OwenD now but i think you have all confirmed what i originally heard and that's how hard it is to actually have parts on the shelf for these. Waiting time i hear for parts is unreal direct from Precision... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 i've had experience with the Precision and the garrett etc albeit not on supras yet and I'll agree there is a difference etc but not enough to make me change between the ease of repairs and cost of genuine garrett compared to the precision setups. Although if the HTA turbos were just as easy to get replacements at the same prices I'd be going for the HTA GT3586r over the GTX3582r i'm planning on using currently.
