I have 2 friends that ran pte’s for acouple years and had no problems but since they seem to be breaking now I would question running one. I think turbonetics has a 3 year warranty but you would have to swap out the mani and downpipe ect. This reminds me off all the used turbos I went through in the shelby lol. At one point I had to shut my car off at red lights due to the smoke hahah. I suggest buying a brand new turbo from a company so there is no question if it blows. Here is a trick I had to do to the shelby when it was my only car and the turbo blew. I took out the turbine and shaft and ran a bolt through it and tightened it so the compressor wheel wouldn’t spin or get exhaust leaking into it. Plugged the oil lines and drove around with no boost till I found another turbo. Haha, yeah I have thought about going boostless if this temp turbo breaks, as I still have to to get around.That will suck with 7.8:1 comp pistons! Luckly these 14b’s can be had for about $100 so I should be able to find another if this one goes. If the PTE 50 trim gets fixed, I’m selling it right away. They really didn’t make a good impression on me… Holset and Borgwarner turbos seem to last for awhile for the guys that are using them, I don’t mind having Jeff at 1st try change my down pipe, or buy a new manifold as soon as I get a job. The 14b should last until then :fingers crossed: --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lazylasers-97-talon/197822)._
