If that is a 66mm journal bearing (non ball bearing) with a GTQ wheel..... I think you will need at least a 3500 - 3600 to take advantage of it.... to help minimize the lag....

Isn't there a watercooled dual ball bearing TA66-GTQ?

Were you looking at lock-up or non lock?
If your shifting at 5800 rpm or so you can use a 3200-3400. If your looking to run well into the 10's with the turbo and don't want lock-up I'd run the 9.5 non lock. I had an early version of this in my car.

Get what i have if you want a non lockup. Tell Dusty you want the one i have. It works great. Its setup to run at least 24psi. If you want to run less boost you will need a slightly looser one. Read my posts about it and make your conclusion.

Run the same setup Bison is running. His car is brutually fast and spools up instantly. He has a 66 GTQ. I think his is a BB tho.

I'm not positive this is the turbo I want to go with just trying to weigh my options. Current T has a FUBAR thrust bearing so I'm thinking of gutting it (body isn't that nice anyway) and swapping everything into an El Camino. I figure with basically the motor the blue car had a TA66-GTQ could be fun for a 100% street car truck.

That is what I like to hear. Would be a hell of a bike hauler.

Yeah the one I was looking at was the BB version.
This is the El Camino I'm looking at for the swap,    It was my car in high school, the kid I sold it to still has it and is willing to sell it cheap.
