I installed the old school TE60 w/a .63 garrett exhaust housing on my car. It had the stock D-5 converter in it and I love it. Great spool-up. In my opinion if you have a stock converter in it I would stick with a turbo that has a .63 garrett housing if you plan to drive it on the street all the time. With the new ball bearing turbos I don't know how big you could go with the stock converter.

I did change my converter out about 1 month ago to a orange stripe. Didn't have to but the price was right and it spools up even better. Haven't been to the track yet but soon hopefully.

Just my $O2.

I just installed a TA-49 and I have the stock D5 convertor. Throttle response and driveablity are good. Turbo lag is minimal.

TA-49 with a Garrett exhaust housing works good with the stock D5 TC & is enough turbo to put you solidly in the 11's. And looks stock too!!!

This is sooo true.

The GT6131 should be ok for low to mid 11's (with all the other complementing parts except converter) and should work OK with stock converter and a good boost controller...... but IMHO... I wouldn't go ANY bigger than that on a D5.....
