Available Turbos for the Buick Turbo Regals |
Here is a list of some of the available turbos for the Buick Turbo Regals. I have given a brief description on each turbo from what I have available. Always remember that you can't just bolt on a turbo and expect a miracle. As always it is an effective PACKAGE that makes good results, not a single item. The ET range is on the average TR. There are A LOT of people going A LOT faster than is posted here. I'm just showing the average results. Once again, just my opinion. .

I've used this turbo personally. Excellent for someone that wants to upgrade thier turbo from stock, but doesn't mind the non-stock appearance. Had a car go easy 12.20's with this turbo |
TA-49 |
|
|
This is the most popular upgrade for the turbo regal. It looks exactly like a stock turbo, except the larger inlet bell, and will go deep into the 11's with the right combo. |
TE-44 |
|
|
Very similar to the TA-49 only not stock appearing. |
TE-60 |
|
|
This is one of my favorite turbos. I went 11.50's with this turbo at only 20lbs of boost. I have seen this turbo go low 11's on a friends car and have heard it going mid 10's. i really don't recommend anything less than a true 2800 stall. |
TA-60 |
|
|
Very similar to the TE-60, but stock appearing. |
TE-61 |

TA-61 |

This Turbo is a real popular upgrade also. It's got the same turbine wheel as the TE-62, with the same compressor wheel as the TE-60. An excellent alternative choice to those that want to keep the "stock" look |
TE-62 |
|
|
This is a very streetable turbo. Kinda got a bad rap due to bearing failures, but it a excellent turbo. It has the biggest combination of compressor and turbine wheel avalible with the "stock" type CENTER section. |
TA-62 |
|
|
Stock appearing version of the TE-62 |
TE-63E
(TE-45) |
|
|
I have this turbo on my car right now. It pulls like mad and has very little lag. You need a good 3200 convertor for this turbo.It utilizes the "big bearing" design, and has a full P-trim turbine wheel. |
TE-63-1 |

TE-63 |

This is about as far as I can go. All the above is correct to the best of my knowledge. I hope this will be benifical to someone planning a Turbo upgrade. Please keep in mind that a larger Turbo is only one part of the "package". It takes a well thought out plan to make a TR exceptionally fast.
