TA49 or TA60?

VERY surprised that a 49 is even around any more???

They're so... 1987-ish. Nostalgic, yes, but "antiquey" & needless.


The Limit LT-61s from John Craig, the 6152s from Fullthrottle
(as well as other similarly sized non-BB & even larger BB-turbos)
have proved over & over years ago that there is no lag
when running properly with the factory D-5 converter.

If you get "lag", it isn't originating w/those units, so it'd be best to look
elsewhere than the turbo or converter for something else to blame for any "lag".

We've owned & ran both turbos mentioned above, with the D-5,
& perpetually pondered :"WHY" anyone would wish to waste
their hard-earned cash on a 49?

[And the answer is: "CUZ MY GRANPAPPY HAD ONE, MAC!!"]

A colossal demonstration of choices from yesteryear
in a combo is to see a GN with a teeny 49, a blingy FM,
the "fabled" 009 injectors, and possibly even with a
crushed 237 FPR.

Threads about 'which turbo" resurrect & perpetuate
myths like front porch lights draw moths.



Here's hoping you get more for your money than a 49 will provide.

Out of all the rich multitude of great choices for an intial-upgrade
turbo, the 49 should not even be showing up on anyone's radar
in 2008. It was superbly superceded years ago.

Help pass the word.
Wow! The 49 must've slept with his wife or something geesz hate much???
