I'm a big fan of the T-netics BB 70 Q-trim. Very streetable turbo, no compressor surge, tons of power, and tough!

Pretty happy with the PT-54 (at least, for now!) I see a BB turbo in my future.....

While the largest turbo I have run to date has been a TE63-1, My plans for the build over the winter include either something in the 88-91 MM range :thrashi:

4" inlet and 2.5" outlet GT61P. I am sure that Limit will be getting the turbo soon to make it a GT70P. I am all about the larger compressor wheels!!!

Just sold my TE-61 (.85 A/R turbine housing), Bought a GT67 from Red Armstrong for $700 NEW! P-trim, it is a small shaft turbo, .85 A/R. Looking for mid 10s. I may get another (BB 70) this summer after I get a girdle

My TE63-1 with heads, cam and 3500 stall spools like a stocker. Heh, to the degree a friend didnt know a stock turbo could make "So much power".

On NJ's cold roads, the power is useless though. Anything uner 50mph results in excessive tire smoke

Wife has the TE 72 b.b, mine is factory stock circia 1987 (I can still take hers off the line though). And I will always have a parts bin, she never opens the hood.

TE44, since the stocker it replaced had about 1/4" thrust play. :)
And was moving more oil into the engine than air.

Stock, that way I am allowed to post in the Stockers forum :)

Besides, I am to cheap to upgrade untill I get everything I can out of it or it takes a crap.

Turbonetics 60-1 (4" inlet/2.5" outlet) with Precision .63 A/R 3-bolt exhaust housing, going to need converter. 60's, ported heads, and monster FMIC already in progress. Going to boost it until it explodes, maybe 10.9's.

for a car that is basically stock, I love this TE44! It sings so much better than stock, but I figure that eventually I'll need a 61 or 63...really far down the road after a rebuild.

The 6131 isn't a huge Turbo, but damn this thing can pump some air. I dub the 6131 the Cobra-Killer.
