Hey guys
I need to get some advice on turbo selection, as I'm about ready to purchase the "big ticket" items to complete my combo. And of course, I don't want to buy twice.
My background and combo progression is as follows:
Hotwired Walbro pump, adj. fuel reg, stock turbo, stock IC, THDP, 2 1/2" exhaust,fresh valve springs, Jay Carter street chip, 255/50/16 BFG Comp T/A's. Launching w/o boost netted a 13.4 @105 with 2.2 60's (running 100 octane and 20 psi).
Since then I have added: MSD 50's & lubrant chip, CAS V4, SMC Alky kit, and MM Boost Commander. Did not get to the strip last year with new combo.
This spring I want to finally upgrade the stock turbo. The car has over 100k miles, and I was going to freshen the tranny and maybe get a Vigilante Torque Converter, so my stall
speed is flexible up to 3000 depending on what turbo I choose. Would like to stay with stock heads & cam.
So, what turbo would you recommend along with a good stall speed which would eliminate any lag? My overall goal is a trap speed of 115mph. BTW, did I mention I HATE TURBO LAG?
Car is 95% street driven. Keep that in mind! =o)
Currently I am debating between: PTE-51, TE-60, TE-61. Remember, max stall I'd want to go is 3000 with stock heads, cam, and looking for a min trap speed of 115mph.
Thanks in advance for any advice and sorry this was so long!
