Default Turbonetics vs Precision

suppp guys, so I'm having a little confusion about either getting turbonetics or precision turbo.. which one would be best for a tc that wants to make mid 300's hp and as a daily driver. Please I need help because me and my buddy are doing the same work to our tc's and dont know which to pick.

P.S- same size turbo as well.

X2 Brett nicely wrapped turbo looks awesome. Personally I run Precision products but the only factor you need to consider is Ball-Bearing or Non-Ball Bearing. Ball-Bearings perform stronger,spool faster, consume less oil over the life of the turbo but they have to be sent to manufacture for service if leaks or worn wheels occur. Non Ball-Bearing still get the job done and you can buy the rebuild kit and overhaul the turbo yourself. Hope this helps, either company is top-notch but it's up to you and your friend what you want and can afford.

turbonetics would take a back shelf to Garrett for sure.

We were thinking of going with a 58 trim with either turbonetics or precision and yes we were planning on getting ball bearings on either one..

For mid 300 on a built or stock block. I would go with 6262 on stock or built block

Custom GTK 550... Never had a problem with it at all, I personally believe that you can't beat Turbonetics Ball Bearing Turbos and i've built numerous turbo projects with various turbos and like i said i dont think you can beat turbonetics all around.

the turbo is great i never dyno'd it just self tunning. my engine starting letting go shortly after putting it on so i honestly don't know the full potential of this turbo.
