te-44 or ta-49

[QUIP'6']

thinking of buying a turbo but will occasionally do weekend track runs will eventually run alky. my question is which turbo will give me better torque and hp at 0 to 18 psi levels. want to install a thdp also. will there be a noticable difference? if so which one

At 18psi and below, I don't think there'll be any difference between the two.

i mean over a stock turbo efficiency and power

Even comparing the stock turbo to a TE44 or TA49 at under 18psi, there won't be much of a difference. However, the TE44 or TA49 should start to separtate itself from the stock turbo, power wise, as you reach 18psi and beyond. Impossible to say how much more HP or torque because that depends heavily on every other performance aspect of the car too and how well they're all working together.

thanks i will probably go with the 49

The TE-44 and TE-49 have exactly the same wheels and specs but the te-44 flows more and will handle a little more hp. I would go with the te-44 cause I had one and ran 24lbs boost w/race gas and it was great!! and very streetable.
