I'm picking up a 90' TII with a blown motor and turbo. So I need to pick up a turbo as I'm going to have the motor rebuilt. I found this one http://www.fcstore.com/inc/pdetail?v=1&pid=1094
And was wondering how it would do on the car? I know I need the manifold for it but what else? I plan on using a NPR intercooler, and doing fuel upgrades to handle more boost. I don't know a ton about turbos, so I'm really wondering if I need an external wastegate or not.

 

That exact same turbo can be found on ebay for 350-400 new...

 

Thanks for the info! Is there any turbo that would be any better that is similar in price or is this my best bet vs a stock turbo?

 

That A/R is huge!!! I would recommend going a little smaller on the exhaust side. I have a 60-1 on my 2nd gen with a .84 that spools very nice and has plenty of top end. i went 13.0 at 109 at 9psi of boost.

 

I forgot to mention I'm having a large streetport done when the motor is rebuilt, if that makes a diff.

 

IF that's a 60-1, then the compressor map they show is wrong...

 

That turbo is NOT a 60-1. Its actually pretty small and not good for much more then 330-365 whp. Also 1.15 is not that huge of a turbine housing A/R. 1.00 is spot on and .84 is a little on the smaller side, especially for a larger street port. Want a 60-1 for a great price (no one can touch my price) send me a PM, I'm about to place an order with my turbo supplier for a few turbos.
