Yea stick with pte.... Even if your turbo breaks apart at high speeds and sends metal shrapnal flying, you might be seriously hurt, but hey you saved some money


I personally will NEVER buy a pte turbo after seeing multiple stories of them coming apart. Im sure the good to bad ratio is small, but thats not a chance im willing to take

Yea, we got a 6766 sitting here that came apart at the top of 4th gear at the track. It pretty much exploded inside the CHRA.

This x1000.

Honestly though, a 3586 is more of a 700whp turbo on E85. A 3794 will make your power, but will be extremely laggy on a 2.0L, and if you can't rev to 9500-10K it's nearly useless as your powerband will be incredibly small.

I would go with the 3794 if your car functions well at high rpms. If not, I'd stick with the 3586 and compromise at 700whp.

it happens on all sizes. a couple guys on the subaru forum lost turbine wheels on 35r size pte's. i had 2 different pte's eat oil seals and fill my downpipe and wideband with oil twice for no reason at all within 3k miles.

Turbos just fail for no reason especially on Subaru's. Especially journal bearing turbos. Hahaha. Your a funny guy sometimes!
