Stock replacement turbo

[slow305]

My stock turbo is pretty much on its last leg (120k on the clock isn't bad), so I'm looking to get another one. I have a stock converter with 42# injectors and am looking for something reliable that has reasonable street manners, but can sacrifice a little.

I've heard every recommendation in the book from TA-49 to the TE-44 and even a PT-5757(?). Just looking to see what everyone else is doing.

3255, 44, or 49. Id rec a Garrett .63 ex. housing with the stock converter.

Not with a stock converter:biggrin: It would be tolerable to some but a looser 12" would really be needed.

love my 49 but get the garret housing. i have the precision and it was a little laggy with the stock converter. i now have a 3000 stall and its great on the street.

+1 You will pick up a little lag when you go bigger.

Here's the one I'm looking at:

It looks like it has a Garrett compressor housing and Precision exhaust housing. Is this what you mean?
