Never gonna happen....
Big problem is stall speed is kinda subjective. What one guy calls a 3200 someone else says is a 2800 or 3400, you know what I mean ?
FWIW, I had a 3200 stall convertor with a PT52 turbo, and it worked awesome. I went with a GT67 (P trim turbine) turbo and it was a pig to spool. There is a huge difference in these turbo's.
Once I had the stall fixed (now it's too loose) around 3800 I was not overly impressed with the 67 from a power standpoint and have since had it converted to a TE45A.
I wouldn't go over a TE61/PT54 with a 3200 convertor, especially if you are driving it on the street much.
Just my 2 cents worth.

A double ball bearing Innovative GT70 p trim spools just fine with 3200 stall. 
You could probably do just fine with a single ball bearing CPT66 perhaps with a large housing as well.
Call Jack and see if you can afford one.

I had a 3200 Vig in my street car with a BB70Q. Worked fine. Went to a 3500 though as it works better launching at the track with no side effects around town.

I have a TE45 on a 3200 L/U. Runs fine around town and turbo spools instantly. Ive only had a few launches and the tires spun around 2600rpm, or around 5psi. Either way, it spools the turbo perfectly.
See what I mean ?
IMO, anyone that says a 3200 stall is working well for their TE45 or TE66 or bigger size of turbo isn't judging their stall speed correctly. If it was a BB unit that's a different story.
Just ask someone like Nick Micale or Len Freeman or guys with alot of experience with that turbo and chances are they will not be recommending 3200 for a 45A it will be around 35-3600.
As I said, my current stall is closer to 3800+ and IMO it's too loose. Spools the turbo really quick, but I feel it's a couple hundred rpm too high. We'll see in a couple of weeks when I get to the track again this year.
No flames intended, just MHO.

I always use a 3500 stall 9/11 with the TE45A....... That's a sweet turbo!

I agree
I run a 3600 stall and it spools great with the TE45A!

There are general guidelines for "recommended" stall levels for each turbo. When it comes down to it, it is really up to what the person driving the car thinks.
I used to run a GT61P with a stock converter. Personally, I loved it. I would never recommend this to a customer though.
For the TE45a, 3500 is about the average stall, but I usually suggest 3800 stall to really get it moving!

Do you have a ton of work done or is this car a slightly modded GN?
What one guy can get for spool up is not what another might be able to do because of the amount of mods the first guy has done. Its real simple to spool a TE45a with ported heads, FMIC, 3"Exhaust, 70mm TB etc.
I can get my TA49 to chirp the tires at 40mph on a hammer down at only 17psi. But I have a ton of crap done to get it to do that so its deceiving.
If you are worried about spool up, do not get a .85 housing and the Q trim exhaust wheel.

IMHO, wait until the motor is back in the car and broken in. Then try it out as is. You might be surprised how good it feels.
If you change too many things at once you could end up with issues and be chasing your tail trying to figure them out.
Run the car with the TE61 after the engine is done. The only thing you may want to consider is the injector upgrade as you'll be flowing alot more air.

Hello
Hi Clayton how do you like your 75's as far as driveability issues?? Do you use the lean cruise 16:1 a/r with them?? My friend has them in his car but doesn't drive enough on the street to really feel them out!! I'm seriously considering them..

Re: Hello
They're okay but the idle is a little too high for my liking...I am assuming it has to be that way with the larger injectors and bigger cams etc. My car idles about 900 + rpm in park/neutral and maybe 850+ in gear.
Other than that they drive nice on the street, you would never know they were that large of an injector.
