car has 42.5# injectors, PT-52 turbo, TH downpipe, 3" exhaust...

just feels sluggish. it seems the engine makes good power nut it doesn't get to the ground. tranny actually shifts good too. i think the convertor is garbage that is in the car. i'd actually like to try that first before getting into tranny work.

the car is a street car only.
 
The 52's are known spool hogs.... It takes alot to spool them. What converter do you have now?? For that turbo I'd say it needs at least a 3200. If you have a converter in the 28-3000 range now you'd probably be cheaper and faster to step up to a new style 61 turbo....

even under full boost it feels meh. can a bad convertor kill power that much? :confused:
 
Yeah if you are blowing through it... Is it a stock converter?

no. it's a 9", well it appears to be. feels loose. the car actually shifts crisp it just feels weak.

what would be the best convertor for my setup?
