If anyone can help my that would be great. The guy I bought my 87 GN from told me it had a larger turbo on it, but I believe it to be a stock rebuilt turbo as per what I have found on the turbo boards. On the intake compressor it has A/R .60 M10 cast into it. Here are some pics.

Its definetely a TA style. Looks stock to me. Could it be a TA-49 anyone? Doubt it, but were they making TA-49's 100 years ago, which looks to be the age of this turbo? :D

I just bought this car and took it out of the storage unit where it has sat for the last 12 years. I know I have some work ahead of me, but this is my first GN and I am learning as I go. Lots of cleaning and replacing rubber and plastic parts. Hell, it even had a 1/2 tank of 12 year old gas when I loaded it on the trailer (that was fun cleaning the whole fuel system :rolleyes: )
