Update: the fine folks at precision are taking care of having a polished compressor sent my way in exchange for the bare one so that allowed me to take the turbine housing off so I can take it in for ceramic. Not a moment wasted

Big single?
Not too big, no. I would say “properly sized/ high quality” single. The gen 2 precision air cooled ball bearing turbos are incredibly efficient. This should have a similar transient response to the twin 57/58’s on the DSG car, with more punch up top. This is a 76/75 rated at 1300 hp

I'm not going to lie, when I saw the car on the trailer and directly under that pic was a shopping cart pic, my mind thought you added the car to your shopping cart.

But very cool build. Posting to follow along
