Re: Would this turbo work?

That is the same turbo I use, as well as waste gate. I used to use the same fmu, but got rid of that and put in large injectors when I went over 10 psi. That turbo works great, it does not spool to early or latew and can support a lot of power. It will make a few psi foot braking it, and boost comes in hard and fast at about 3000 rpm. The turbo makes enough power to push my car to almost 119 mph in the 1/4 mile with the stock engine, trans and rear at 22-24 psi, so it is making a good amount of horsepower for a stock 6 cyl.

Re: Would this turbo work?

if you go with the 60-1 kit, a guy on clubgp.com made 428 whp with stock heads and cam, and 478 whp with stattama's stage 1 turbo cam.

if you want newer tech, and cheaper, try the gt3255e from precision turbo. it's a buick turbo, so it has round turbine inlet and 3 bolt pattern. it's good for up to 520 hp at 20+ psi, works with the stock torque converter, and costs $830 new.

a stock head turbo trans am has done 11.83s 1/4 on 23 psi. it sounds like a lot of boost, but turbos are most efficient between 15 and 25 psi...where most kits don't even hit 10 psi.

you can also step up to the gt6131re, which is a full ball bearing turbo good for 620 hp for $1080 at www.fullthrottlespeed.com under buick turbos. innovative 60-1 journal bearing turbos go for $1195.

if you're getting custom headers, the 3 bolt makes no difference. besides, i never understood why valves are rounds, headers are round, exhaust is round, but the t3 or t4 flanges are rectangular.

How much do you think that whole setup is going to cost you?
