Default Re: Better turbo design

More than happy to help you. Since you're using a 4 door you might want to look at changing the rear gear to a 3.42 or 3.23 and use a 2004R tranny. That will let you get the best out of the combo and make a decent sleeper that gets good gas mileage.

Now since this turbo is almost like an 86-87 design, there are more upgrades you can do to it. Right now the redesign has already been tested on the track by one of my friends and has gone 11.87 in the quarter so far. The really nice thing is that you can now upgrade the turbo and put a larger compressor wheel in it. The TA 49 design can be made out of this which increases the flow even more. If you want even more flow you can use the turbine off the TA 49 and use a TO4B 60-1 compressor wheel and make it flow even more.
