I guess this turbo is really taking on! I did some initial testing of that compressor and exhaust wheel combo back in Oct 2004. Out of about half a dozen different experiments, I loved the GT6131E the best. It produced the times in my sig with those mods and it also gave me 100rwhp more over the stocker, which I was running 7.8x with in 1/8 on the stock turbo at the time.
This was all with a 2700 stall convertor...could be a little looser...ask me in a few weeks as I'm currently putting in a 3000 stall convertor....if the tranny guy will ever call me back...I think he's using my car as his daily driver or something...had it 5 weeks now.

Do you think it is possible to get a 10.90 out of it if heads and cam are done? The reason I ask is I know mid 11's sound good to me now, but after that, I'll want 10's. If that doesn't work for me, I can just swap out the 31 exhaust with the 52 exhaust. Just trying to leave alittle room to grow. Thanks for the reply.
With heads, cam and the 52 exhaust, I would think 10's would be within reach. It should be a mid to low 11 turbo without heads and a good tune with lots of boost.
Just bought a GT6152 turbo myself for the T, stepping up from the stocker like 2QUIK6. Only difference is I'm running 50# injectors and stock IC with a dutt neck, but I also have a 9" 3200 converter. Last time out (2nd time with alky) I ran 12.4's with 7.8 1/8th's on the stocker. Considered the 31 exhaust, but figured I should be fine with the 52 and my converter. I'm hoping for mid 11's early on and working from there.
After that, I would be like you and get heads, cam, yadda, yadda, and push for 10's.

I think high 10's is definitely possible with that turbo with ported heads and cam. I'm running stock never been off the car heads and cam currently. The 52E should get you a solid mid-10 I would think.
If you need to swap your convertor anyway, then go for the higher stall and get the bigger exhaust wheel. With low 11's my goal, I'm done cause I'm not planning to do any internal work.

You are going to love it. With my combo, the car pulls everywhere while blowing through the converter. I ordered a 10.5" 3200 stall Protorque converter today from Chris at CK Perf. for more efficiency and should be picking it up on Friday. The car blows the tires off the ground in 1st & 2nd while allowing me to run 20-21 psi on straight 93 octane. The most knock I have seen is 0.7 in 3rd at lockup so far. It's extremely efficient to say the least. I should see 11s on straight pump gas in the spring.
