precision turbos are pretty great actually. I'm pretty sure d-sport did a spread on them in their turbo special. you wanna talk crappy turbos...let's talk Godspeed.....

I got with the tuner friendly the Turbonetics. No problemas at 10psi with around a year as a daily drive, 27 mpg. Change oil every 2000 to 2500 miles full synth and as rob says I never run less than a 1/4 tank wich is good to fill my car with less money and it sucks cuz I stop at gas stations more frequently.

Very important I got the AEM EMS S2 wich has saved me from a lot of problems. And is way more tuner friendly.
