94mm stroke I believe. typical sid stroker style. In reality it might be a mm less due to the machining.

Very good choice with the turbo. You'll like it much better, and Precision's service isn't worthy of your money.

I've been waiting over 3 months to get my precision turbo, so I have given up. I changed the order to a garrett gtx3582r. I'm getting the tial mount, fittings, etc through sfr. I also added a sfr intake to my order.

No, I used a crank shop out of denver. they were very familiar with offset grinding and nitride hardening. also did a med knife edge/balance

got to admit George, your experience with precision factored in.

it was mile high cranks out of denver, and it was around 700 for
- cross drilling
- knife edge
- offest ground
- balance
- nitride hardening.

Straightened didn't cut the mains. Runout was basically nothing. I re-measured once I got it and was spot on

They definitely know what they are doing.

First snag putting things back together.

I have the garret with the tial engine mount installed, but the 3" downpipe will not fit between the turbo and the aos shield. My guess is that the downpipe would be different with a precision+factory mount vs the garret with the tial mount. Can anyone confirm?

I can't comment on that set up, but with my stock mount, VR5 turbo and SFR 3" downpipe, the downpipe ended up rubbing/grinding a hole in that heat shield. I ended up cutting off the folded corner of the shield, which sticks out the most, and tacking in a little patch. That buys lots of extra room at least for my set up.
