Stock Buick Turbo on other cars?

[Pox]

Has anyone used, or know of someone using the stock buick turbo on other cars / other engines? DSM eclipses or talons, rx7, supras, small v8, big v8, inline engines...ect.

Came across this the other day! Don't say how fast but the guy has a powerstroke intercooler too.

Thanks for your responses. Part of the reason that I ask is that my brother has a DSM and wants to bump up to a bigger turbo and injectors, and I was wondering what it would take to adapt the stock turbo setup off our engines to his car. Know that it would involve fabricating an adapter plate for the turbo and some fancy piping for the intercooler (if the intercooler were used), but I was wondering what the stock turbo's equivelent would be in a "G" series turbo.

Thanks, Jon

The stock turbo was way too small for my car, and would hit full boost at 25-30% tps. I have a Ta-49 on it now, and it is still too small, I think I have a Te-62 lined up. My lexus has a 3.0 liter 2jz, and it breathes pretty well, so this might be why it spools so quick.
