Here is what Precision has to say about their history: Most are run at insainly high pressure ratio's and shaft speeds and for them to last as long as they do is a testiment to their engineering. While some still claim that precision is suffering from reliability problems one needs to remember that people are not buying a precision turbo to be gentle on it. They hold over 200 records and are making horsepower numbers at high boost pressures that have never been seen before. I would not hesitate to purchase a precision turbo now. What changed?

Precision then moves on to make there own CHRA center housings and continues to supply their own wheels and housings. Garrett then cut off precision as a supplier. We have all heard the saying: “you shouldn’t crap where you sleep”. You would have to assume Precision as a company knew what they were doing. As you can guess Garrett wasn’t happy about that. Then they started to modify Garrett turbo’s and openly advertise how their turbo’s were out performing standard Garrett turbo’s. They would take Garrett turbo’s and resell them, mainly focusing on the aftermarket scene. Precision is a company that up until recently was really just a distributor of Garrett turbo’s. Lets take a quick look at the history of each company. Knowing more about each company will probably help you more in your decision. Each of the companies offers many turbo sizes, turbo housings, internal wastegates, just oil or water cooled, and journal and ball bearing versions.
