Hey all Im just trying to find out what a turbo like this would be called or closely related to in the GN/TTA world:
Master Power T60-1 T4 0.68 A/R
Map: http://www.turbocalculator.com/compressor-maps/t04-60-1.jpg

Something like a TE60 or T60?
Thanks for your help in advance
Shane

Will be close to a TE-61 or TE-62, both use the 9535-0001 compressor wheel (60-1 TO4E), the 61 uses the TO4-69trim turbine wheel, while the 62 uses the P-Trim turbine wheel.

Note that almost all buick turbos use the T-3 GN turbine housing, usually in a .63 or .82 A/R size.

Most TE-series buick turbos use a TO4-E compressor housing in a .60 A/R

Master Power copied the older .70 A/R compressor housing, using a 4" inlet and a 2.5" outlet, IME.

The TE-60 uses a 60 trim TO4-E compressor wheel, 2476-0017...maps are easily found for this wheel also.

Hope this helps,
-RP :)
 
Thanks JunkBrick.
If Im following correctly itll be closer to the te-61 because of the exhaust wheel being a 69 trim and if it uses a P trim itll be closer to a TE-62? Which will be right where I wanna be.
Thanks Again for the help.

The 61 Garrett compressor wheel, common in the GT-35 turbo is a fairly nice piece...A little newer aerodynamics over the older style 60-1 wheel. Still works nice at a low boost pressure (seen 460 rwhp at 9psi on a small V-6), but will hold its own at a higher pressure ratio (boost) also. Precision turbo sells alot of them to the GN guys...check their website.

We have had a car just at 577 rwhp on 26 psi with it...but these numbers were generated with the T series turbine wheel. Check out www.turbobygarrett.com in the medium frame section under products.

I really like to see that compressor wheel teamed up with the GT turbine, or at least the Stage 5 (T-350) Garrett turbine in the standard TO4 platform...just for the efficiency vs. turbo RPM game. It will get your turbine flow and compressor effieciency in the same neighborhood (RPM)...I do not believe MP has that turbine wheel available, though.

Sorry for the slow response, feel free to PM me with any questions!

Good luck

Thanks for the reply Brick! No worries about the post lag, I appreciate any info you care to share. Im gonna pass on the MP turbo. Its not really what I wanted anyway, my ideal turbo would be a GT6131 or 6152 but with a 4 bolt flange.
Right now my thinking is like this, I want what a Te-44/ta-49 is on a stock engine on a stage one engine. .10 overbore, small 206/206 cam, good flowing heads, fuel system and a 3000 stall. Do you think the 6131 will be a little small and I should run with the 52 since there is an increase in exhaust flow. I want flow for the street(little - no lag) and run 16-18psi on pump gas.
Thanks again,
Shane
