It was ported... and spools faster then a 62.
Good for low 11's high tens.... My setup is for a little larger turbo, with 60# and a 3600 converter.

It would appear to me that there-in lies your problem. Do you have a "hot wire" kit on the car for the fuel pump? If not and the volt booster has helped some I would venture to say that even with a decent flowing TA49 or TE44 you are going start having the same issues. It is NOT in the turbo size for you but more-so in the fuel pump voltage. I think underload that the voltage is dying out and causing the fuel pump to not put out as it should be. I would suggest before you give up on the TE60 to take a more serious look into your fuel pump and fuel pump wiring. If not then you may end up with more trouble than you forsee regardless of the turbo that ends up on there. This is JMO but I hope it helps.

What size injectors are you running? Do you know what the injector duty cycle is at WOT?
Also, install a manual fp gauge and tape it to the windshild and see what the fp is doing when going under boost....if dropping off and not adding 1# per # of boost then the pump is toast....if it keeps up and your going lean...either too small injectors or chip does not have enough fuel in it....if DC is at or over 100% your out of injector.
There's no way I would down grade to a TE44 or such from a TE60, that turbo rocks for a street / strip combo.
If out of injector, you could either get bigger injectors, or get an alky kit for about the same price and run 24+# of boost all the time with a huge smile on your face

For a min I thought you were saying you ported a 44 out to a 62. The wheels are of different sizes.... all the porting in the world.....won't make a 44 into a 62. A 44 will also spool faster than a 62 completely stock..... the 62 probably needs about a 3400 stall to spool quick.... where the 44 does pretty well with a stock D5....
There have been a few 44's in the 10's that I have read about.....but it is much more likely with the 62.....
As far as the original poster......I recommended back on post #4 that he address the real problem.....not bandaid fix by installing a smaller turbo with less power potential... and thus less potential fuel consumption...
