Smoke at idle...

[RTCarlin]

I really like the way the car runs with the TE62... Spooled quick enough and I was able to keep the boost down around 18# on the street and still run strong with alky...

If I switch turbo's, I'd like the new one to offer similar performance (mid-high 10's), and allow me to run lower boost on the street.... The car sees the streets a lot more than the track...

So:

1) Who does turbo rebuilds?
2) What would be a more modern alternative to my current turbo?
3) Would too high of a stall be a bad thing with these newer BB turbos?

Once again, thanks everyone..... And SteveV.... I've still got your hose.........

6.9 with a 1.49 60' at 24# with MT Radials on the 1/8th. Never got it to a 1/4 track...

depending on the rebuild price, it's looking like I'll stick with the 62. I know I like the way it runs with it, so why mess with a good thing...

Rebuild should be ~$500.00

Looks like I'll be sending the Turbo into PTE as soon as I get my allowance..

In the mean time, will it hurt to drive the car while it's leaking?

When you have it rebuilt, might want to look into a .82 exhaust housing...get more out of that turbo.
