this may be interesting reading for you... I went with 6262DBB with billet wheel. Finishing install tomorrow, then waiting for the rain to stop!

What are your goals from the car? Do you want a fast spooling street car, or a top end car? A TE-44 is comparable to the TA-49 you have but the compressor housing isn't stock appearing. I had a 44 on my car and that thing spooled its balls off with a broken converter (3300 stall with broken sprag) :biggrin:. It all depends on your goal's though, there are alot of people running the Billet units with no ill side effects :biggrin:

Let us know how it goes alot of people are having boost control issues, ported the wastegate hole how big. How are you controling boost.

I got a BB Turbonetics CPT-61 from Cotton. Really good street turbo. On the 2400 stall convertor I used to have it spooled great. The 2800 stall I have now is like fast as stock... Instant really. Definately get a ball bearing turbo. Turbonetics has a nice warranty too.

I had cpt 61 bb and spool was slow, but once it hit was good. I'd recommend a 3200 stall if you went that route.

As far as boost control I have an external gate, I'll have to measure what size or call jack cotton, was a while ago I bought and don't remember. I think I'll be ok from eyeballing. Bought ported shroud for surge insurance, if it actually does anything at all. At least it looked cool!

Is this 6262 a water cooled BB? Or the new ceramic air cooled?

You should think about what your goals are before you start spending cash on a new turbo. You have enough in your combo now to run high 10's with the wick turned up a bit. That said, I have a ptc 2800 with a 61mm ball bearing turbo and it spools up very fast, it could have easily tolerated a larger turbo if that's what I really wanted.

It's water cooled. The air cooled cartridge look pretty cool, but adding water cooling lines wasn't that big a deal to me.

Thanks......was just curious if any of the venders are stocking the ceramic BB billett turbos yet.
