turbo options

[Haynesie]

Well my turbo has lost its seal on the exhaust side, as oil seems to come out the back of the pipes....basically i wanna know whats the best turbo i can get, i currently have 40#ers and i believe that the stall is stock, as i seem to break the tires free right around 2400rpms, what turbo will work good with this setup, the current one is a 60series, i believe a TE. i like how it runs and wouldnt mind another, but if their is a more resonable setup im more than open to suggestions. So in short, what turbo should i look into, and where should i get it....also how much would it cost to restall the converter, in case something else would work better....oh and by the way new injectors may have to come shortly after....thanks!!!

If you are going to be sticking with the stock converter, you should look into a TA49/TE44. If you like some lag, a TE60 would not be a bad choice.

If you plan to step up on the converter, you should take that into account when you are choosing your turbo.
