I have a 2016 3.5l with the dreaded turbo coolant leak and manifold leak. I figure since I am going to have everything taken apart anyways it would be a good time to update/upgrade the turbos. I am trying to decide between Garrett powermax and borgwarner. Does the powermax require anything more than a specific tune to make it work properly? And is it really worth the extra couple hundred dollars to buy??

I vote Precision > Garrett or BW.

Picking Precision over Garrett is kind of like picking a Whipple over an Eaton. When you compare similarly sized turbo's from all your main players like Garrett, Mitsubishi, etc, Precision is general considered to be your most efficient turbo.

No, because I don't feel like taking the time to search the internet for this info. If you care to then it's out there. Just use a search engine for Precision vs Garrett vs BW, or something like that. Look up the records in all your major race leagues, and see who's holding them. From my understanding cars running Precision turbo's are generally the most dominant in the racing leagues. I believe Garrett used to make Precisions turbo's, but they had a falling out 20+ years back, and Precision had to start making their own turbo's kind of like Whipple and Lysholm. The general consensus used to be that Precision turbo's were more efficient, but not as reliable as Garrett or BW or Mitsubishi. Who in the aftermarket still uses Mitsubishi turbo's for example? Greddy used to, but you don't hear about their turbo kits anymore. Precision's big in the racing seen. Look I'm 42 and don't keep up with this stuff like I used to, but people like Cleetus MacFarlane, and many others push them.
I don't care what you run, and am not some lead authority in EB turbo upgrades, but these are what I was recently looking at. These are OEM turbo's that have been remanned by Precision. I don't know whether or not they're better than other turbo upgrades, but I do know that Precision has a reputation as probably the most efficient turbochargers on the market.
