[VETKILR]

Decided to order it getting it in next few days, any opinions of it? Downpipe recommendations to go with it? Thanks

that thing is going to spool like a SOB

I'm very pleased with mine. It spools great with the stock converter and pulls real strong.....great street manners.

My times reflect poor traction/launch technique but the speed is there. I'm sure it has more in it but I haven't had the time to get it to the track for more tuning.

Sounds like a sweet combo you have going there. :smile:

I just removed my stock turbo from my 87 GN. I was going to throw on a TE-44 until I could purchase one of these 6131bb's. Now Im up in the air, whether I should just wait.

Where did you get yours from? Also if anyone has info on where to purchase one for a fair price would be appreciated.

 

[VETKILR]

Price pretty much was 1320 bucks but lemme tell you i was supposed to wait 2 weeks for the order and only took a week. I think hartline performance has some pull up there with precision im getting a precision ic from hartline they are cutting me a sweet deal so i would try them. holly is tops in customer service so you cant go wrong with them

I just put mine on and all I can say is WOW!!!. Jack Cotton gave me a great deal on it and a precision SLIC. You wont be disapointed.

I have been wanting to try that turbo. I know it has to be a great street turbo. Thanks for posting!

I was wondering what exhaust housing size you went with? I know they offer the .63 and the larger.82?. Which is better for street and some track? Providing you are sticking to a stock converter. Will the big exhaust housing have a problem spooling at low end?

I'm in the process of installing one on my son's car. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Go with the .63 housing with a stock converter or you will get to much lag.

Got the turbo on the car today and all I can say is WOW!! This turbo spools like crazy. I'm running the .63 housing with an Edge 10" 3000 stall converter and I absolutely love it!

 

[87GNTTOP]

I am psyched out with this turbo. Definetely getting it now. Hope to have enough in a couple of weeks!!

I am going to purchase one of these in the next couple of weeks. My question is relating to the oil and coolant lines that they sell as a kit for these turbos.

I will obviously need the coolant lines to hook up to the turbo, but will I need the oil line kit? Or can I simply use the stock one with a fitting in the turbo, like the stock turbo?

If you buy a turbonetics, they sell a bb turbo that is not water cooled. and yes the stock oil line should work fine. But i would replace it with a new one or a braided line.

Is the Turbonetics a dual ball bearing turbo or single ball bearing?

Can you precision turbo guys answer the oil line question? Thanks
