Stock Turbo

[to slow]

My stock turbo has gone, and was thinking of rebuilding it into a TA-49. Is this possible?? What rebuild kit would I need to do this??

thanks.

You can't just "rebuild" it into a TA49. The housings must be machined to fit the TA49 parts. You can just rebuild the turbo as a stock one though.

Check the advertised special area. I believe Hartline is offering some upgraded turbos at a discount right now.

Kind of depends what you plan on doing with the car. If you plan on doing bigger injectors and exhaust mods, I'd buy a new ta style turbo from a vendor. If you are gonna keep it mostly stock and just drive it on the street I highly suggest rebuilding the stock turbo. A bigger turbo is going to do nothing for you if you don't plan on running high boost pressures. Even the stock one is fun at 23 psi.

Yes we are offering some Great Turbo Specials!!! Big Thanks for mentioning us!
Look under Advertised Specials "EVENT LIQUIDATION" of what we currently have in stock and ready to go!
I even have a customer selling a Used BILLET Wheel 5857 which is a GREAT UPGRADE from stock and much better than the Old School TA-49
These Billet Wheel turbos spool so much quicker than the cast wheels!!
Give us a call if you wish, we will be happy to help you.

IMO I'd take advantage of this OP.

I just put a 6262 on my car and when we go the car started my buddy gave it a little gas and the motor almost hit 5k the thing revved so fast. I had to tell him twice to watch it cause we were hitting 4600rpm in park! He couldn't believe how fast these things allowed the engine to rev up.

Mind you this was also on some e85, but it was still insanely fast. I couldn't believe it.

My stock turbo was out too. I was going to rebuild it with a kit from GPOP. I should have taken the compressor housing off befor i bought the kit. It needed a compressor wheel. The wheel was another $165 + the $145 i paid for the kit. I sent the kit back and bought a bigger turbo. Happy i did, it runs great.

Tell me about it. Stalling it to 3200rpm on the foot brake coming out the hole, my rpm instantlly flashes to 4800rpm where as my stocker with nitrous would only hit 4200 or so.

With the 212/212 you need it to stall to about 5100 to get the most out of it

3200rpm is about all I can get on the foot brake with this converter. I'm going to install a trans brake next, or swap in another transmission. Was thinking of a glide since I have a core.

When I said 5100 I mean at full boost.
