TE44 vs. TE60? times, hp, responsiveness...

[GREG O'Brien]

Looking for experiences or thoughts regarding the ACTUAL capability of these two turbos.

I definitely believe the HP claims for the TE60, but I am not convince by the numbers given for the TE44...

Specifically what times/mph have you gotten for either of these turbos?

Anyone have any information on the difference in responsiveness between them?

Thanks
GREG

Here's a recent Thread on TE44's

And another thread

yeah - i used the search feature a few days ago and read those threads already- good info...

i guess the appropriate questions would actually be what times people have with TE60's since I didn't find much on those. Also looking for any kinda comparison... The diameter of the two wheels in the 44 and 60 are almost identical - so it would make sense that the responsiveness is ALMOST identical. But so many more people use TE44's?!?! I just found that kinda odd - since the 60-1 compressor map (TE60) looks so much more capable than the regular 60 trim compressor map (TE44).

Does the TE60 not perform as well as it would appear to?

I went from a TA49 (i think the same as the 44) to a TA60. I did several other mods at the same time though. The 60 has more lag, but does pull stronger on the top and mid for sure. I was able to pull off a 1.58 60' with the 60 and netted a 11.50 through the factory stock intercooler. I was happy with it, but have since moved to a TA63.

what were the other mods? car to take a guess at how much lag increased?

i won't hold you to it

thanks
