opinions on turbo upgrade

[next_level]

i have a te-52, other junk in sig, i can get a ta-66 qtrim

is there a point really? cause i know my combo isnt maxed out now, but would the bigger turbo do anything more for me, or would i loose a little low end torque, and move the power band up too high?

TA66 huh? That is a lot of compressor wheel in a small housing. Either way.

That turbo has a large exhaust wheel that I do not think will do anything for you. You will need a lot more stall, like around 3500+ stall, to get that turbo going.

There are a lot of folks out there with stock-ish engines that run a 66mm turbo of some sort. They usually end up working out very well with a good amount of stall.

but would you think it's worth it or the moneys better spent somewhere else

I think what he is saying is that you would need bigger injectors - $600+, a bigger stall - $1000 and other small items to work that turbo. So, you're looking at well over $2k including the turbo to get it going.
