Basic Information on Turbochargers

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. .

TE-34
  • Non-stock appearing
  • 3 bolt turbo
  • 56mm compressor wheel
  • Stock or blue top injectors
  • stock or minimum stall converter
  • Flows 785 cfm
  • 530 HP
  • High 11s
  • 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
  • Stock appearing
  • 3 bolt turbo
  • 58mm compressor wheel
  • Stock or blue top injectors
  • stock or minimum stall converter
  • Flows 800 cfm
  • 545 HP
  • High 11s
  • 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
  • Non-stock appearing
  • 3 bolt turbo
  • 58mm compressor wheel
  • Stock or blue top injectors
  • stock or minimum stall converter
  • Flows 850 cfm

  • Very similar to the TA-49 only not stock appearing.
    TE-60
  • Non-stock appearing
  • 3 bolt turbo
  • 60-1 compressor wheel
  • Blue top or 009 injectors
  • 2800 RPM stall converter
  • Flows 900 cfm

  • low 11s
  • 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.

  • 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
  • Non-stock appearing
  • 3 bolt turbo
  • 60-1 compressor wheel
  • 009 - 55# injectors
  • 2800-3200 stall converter
  • Flows 935 cfm
  • 630 HP
  • Low 11s -high 10s
  • 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
  • Non-stock appearing
  • 3 bolt turbo
  • 60-1 compressor wheel
  • 009- 55# injectors

  • 615 HP
  • Low 11s- high 10s
  • Stock appearing version of the TE-62
    TE-63E

    (TE-45)

  • 3200 stall converter
  • P trim turbine
  • Flows 950 cfm
  • 680 HP
  • High 10s
  • 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.

  • 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.
