I just got this thing for cheap due to blown impeller. Any ideas of what it could be? I know. Open it up and measure. It's on it's way to me. Just thought I'd ask.
Thats good to hear about your experience.Don't throw it in the trash just yet. What you have is just the opinion of one builder. I'm sure the next one you talk to may have a different opinion as well. I have ran a Precision built turbo on my Buick for years with no issues. If you want to talk about cheap turbos, I ran an E-bay Chinese 16G turbo on my DSM Laser. It was a $238 turbo that I put on the car when I was troubleshooting it just to get the car running. I ended up liking it so much that I kept it on the car when it was my daily driver. I ran it for almost 3 years with mild boost (@17 psi) and it never missed a beat. It was still running strong when I sold the car. Point is, you're the only one who matters in saying how good of a deal you got. If you think it's worth taking a chance on the rebuild cost, it may surprise you and be one of the best turbos you ever had, Chinese wheel or not.
Precision wants me to buy their new and improved version pte5558, I believe, because this one has been deemed obsolete by them!Nice . Send it to Precision and see if they can rebuild it . Looks like a PT54-58 to me
