John, What I quoted you for was for worst Case. It was everything that you may need to replace. Also there was a core charge involved in that price as well. If you would like to call back the owner or myself would be glad to break down the prices for you, and also see exactly what you need to...

If it is measuring 59mm on the inducer on the compressor wheel it could be a 6031 turbine wheel Exducer (smallest part of turbine wheel) would be 57mm, 6052 turbine wheel would measure 62mm or a 6076 turbine wheel would measure 65mm. Most likely it would be a 6031 or a 6052 on a Buick. Hope this...

It possibly may be a 3231 or a TE32 which is a 55mm Compressor wheel. If the wheel rubbed it could have measured 54 instead of 55.

TE 34 is a 57mm and the TA 49 is a 58mm

Are you planning on going with a Journal bearing or ball bearing? With it being a street car I would recommend going with the 6266 with the S cover 4" inlet 2.5" outlet. This turbo will get you where you want to be at the track and also be very fun on the street. What size stall do you have and...

We sell a nice 3" downpipe here is the link to it http://www.gbodyparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=402&osCsid=8bf093a7ff0cf70bba0cef3ea9ee38af

Yes you are both correct, the stock and TA series turbos from PTE come with the O-ring.

On a stock block with a stock stall you can go as large as a TA49 or a 3431, you can also get away with a 4431 with a stock converter. For best results on the 4431 a 2800 stall is recommended. There are entry level turbos that are very reasonably priced and come with a 1 year warranty from...

Bison, You are correct the Garrett style E cover or Stock compressor cover did not have a O-ring. The new billet turbos are now designed with the same back plate so you can swap from a E cover to an S cover without having to send the turbo back to have the backplate changed out. The older style...

I used to work for Precision and the E covers do have a O-ring 3" inlet 2" outlet. I know that it does help seal the compressor cover to the back plate. The S covers 4" inlet 2.5" outlet, do not have the O-rings. I know Precision will sell the O-ring separately for a few bucks.

I worked at Precision Porting the turbine housings and the elbows in the past. I now work for G body Parts and I do the porting on the wastegate holes and the elbows. I might get a little crazy to make everything line right up but I do not get that crazy. Possibly you are missing this? Turbo...

6262 turbo 6262 2800 stall is ok for a mild street car if you want it to spool hard I would go with a 3200 stall. I would upgrade injectors as well, it you wanna run alky you can turn the boost up to abou lbst 28. Depending what the motor is built for. How much power are you looking for? the...
