I bought a Precision SC-61 back in march, I installed it in early april and I’m starting to have problems. Yesterday, I took off my filter to clean it and oil was dripping out of the compressor cover. The seal is obviously spanked.
My question is, how easy of a company is precision to deal with in regards to warranty and service?
thanks.

are you running a restrictor?
Compressor surge can kill turbos, too.

no restrictor, and I’m almost 100% sure theres no compressor surge. I did have surge when i put it on and started the break in period, but i never had it above 1 psi during that time because of the surge.

standard journal, and I forget the size of the feed line, I’ll check that once I get out of work.

Yeah, i’ve had compressors leak oil, then put a smaller restrictor in and the problem went away… something to consider…

i like to put a pressure gauge between the restrictor and the turbo oil inlet to make sure that the turbo has enough oil.
