Precision used to have poor quality turbos back in the day compared to the quality they output today, but this scenario won't change that I have decided to pass on Vargas for now, at least in this present day application.
Would love to hear people argue over the higher output options of the RB's and Pure 600.
the thing is they are both up high in quality and customer service. I chose going with Rob because I prefer to support a smaller company, and the guy knows his stuff. he is the actual point of contact. you can't go wrong with either so up to you

We don't offer RB so I do not have much experience with them. i have been offering Pure kits for years and they have been top-notch with us since day 1

Vtt is trash as stated above.

I vote RB GFs if you can/want to afford them. But RB in general has a great reputation like pure. I would give RB my buisness over pure but only because I have 1st hand experience with his turbos and he always answers emails quickly. His product other than turbos are all top notch as well.

He needs to fix his God awful out of date website!

RB 2's would be my choice. Rob Beck has been really reliable and the customer service is top notch. The man tracks every set of turbos he's ever sold and he tracks his failure rate and the why. He genuinely cares about your power goals.

Running his turbos for 35K miles and got me to my goal to dip into the 11's on 90 octane with meth.
