Hey guys,

After getting my 408 stroker kit in I kinda got urge to build a turbo motor. Well I looked around and just did want to spend that kinda cash. Long story short I got a better paying job and have got a friend that is going to make me a deal a brand new precision turbo. I just want to make sure it will be a good turbo for my 408.

He says it is a 76mm compressor and a 68mm turbine, and is a ball bearing on a .86 a/r. Would this turbo be too small on a 408?

Thanks

Depends on what you plan on doing with the truck. That turbo will be fun on the street, but will choke the motor if you push if hard at the track. Something in the 80mm range and a bigger turbine wheel and a/r would better for track duty.

 

It will spool very quick. I have a mp76 with a 1.00a/r and it spoold quite fast already on my stock bottom 4.8

 

I am not to worried about choking out track. I really don't plan on taking it to the track that much, but for 600$ brand new would it be worth it?

 

Yea thats half price on a great turbo. It would be a bit small on a 408 though, should get to boost instantly

 

Ok just a quick update... I think it might actually be a turbonetics turbo.

 

Still cheap for a new turbo

 

With those specs, sounds like a Turbonetics. That's a very good price on it.

 

Yeah I think the price is too good to pass up. Now I just have to find a way to swap out my flat tops for some dished pistons.


Thanks

Ok I just got off the phone with my friend getting the final details. He says it is a older (07) turbo that was never used. The specs I posted are what it is.

What are some opinions? I already have my stroker kit with flat tops.
