Pick me a turbo!

Hey guys, it's been a while since i've been on here. I am putting some love into the Buick again to get her perfect. I have had a T44 on it for a while, but the converter is too loose for a 44. It's a good excuse to go to a 50 or 60 series and make some real power.

Here is my setup:

T44
Stock location stretch cooler
Champion Ported Irons
Champion Ported Intake
ATR Roller Cam (pretty sure it's the 212/206)
Roller Rockers
Stock Bottom end freshened up 10K miles ago
57lb hi-z injectors
adjustable regulator
walbro 340
ATR cold air kit
PTS race trans
PTS 9/11 converter
3" Downpipe
2.75 straight exaust

Those are all the main things. The PTS converter was originally a 3500 stall. Unfortuanely I listened to "somebody" who told me to go that high. It was then tightened up to probably somewhere around 3200.

I would like to go with a turbo that spools quick and makes good power. When I go to my new setup I will also go to a nice external wastegate welded to the downpipe and get rid of the actuator type.

Thanks for your help guys! :biggrin:

MY vote is TE45A, I know its old school but it one hell of a street turbo, and will run into the 10s without a problem.
