If you would rather have performance on the street, listen to the countless members. If you look in the PT67 install sticky in the top of this section, post #106, theres a video of a 6776 spooling up. If that doesnt spool enough for you...

TE44/49's are great turbos, no arguement, but for the power and performance, these newer turbos are awesome. I've changed my turbo 4 times in the past 4 years for "just a little bigger", and wish now that I would have listened to people when they told me to get something bigger and grow into it. I used to say I didnt need anything that big, or that my car would have a hard time spooling such a big turbo. Thats my lesson learned.
And as the post states, high 10's are going to be a lot harder to achieve with a 44/49 than it would with a 6776. Good luck with your ventures.
