    Anyone have experience with these turbos pros vs cons and what's worth going with?

    Ask 5 guys get 6 different answers. Guys have great success with bully dog yet blew up borgs and vice versa

    Thanks in advance

    I run a Borg, works good for me, know a few guys with Bullydogs and they love them. Don't know anybody right off hand with a Full tilt or PDI.

    A lot of turbos and manifolds are produced by the same companies but marketed under different brands. A few guys here can tell you who makes what if you post what you’re looking for.

    The only one you can guarantee that will be genuine borg parts will be a borg bought from a reputable dealer, its been known that some aftermarket companies are using Chinese sourced parts to keep their overhead down.

    Usually anyone that has a true catastrophic turbo failure is usually in a situation where the turbo was oversped.

    Fair enough, I'm running a turbo that's to small for my setup but it's holding up. Although my fuel mileage isn't

    I was thinking I made that clear.

    The 1.32 housing isn’t fit for much more than a Series 60, and causes a lot of over speed scenarios.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    That's kind of why I was asking opinions on the bully dog. That stage 2 with 78 mm and 1.42 a/r non gated is what I think is the perfect set up for what I need

    I can't resist. After all it is futile.
