    lots of play in turbo = loud turbo 'flutter'

    this is a guess, but it makes sense. for the stock turbo to builld 20+ psi it has to spin alot faster than a larger turbo, so when you let off while in boost the compressor has more momentum so it flutters louder or more. When you upgraded to the te44 the compressor is larger/ more efficient so...

    Stock Buick Turbo on other cars?

    The stock turbo was way too small for my car, and would hit full boost at 25-30% tps. I have a Ta-49 on it now, and it is still too small, I think I have a Te-62 lined up. My lexus has a 3.0 liter 2jz, and it breathes pretty well, so this might be why it spools so quick.

    I know it probably won`t work but can someone tell me why?

    If someone were hesitant (not me) to put alchohol on their car, but wanted to cool their cylinders a bit, couldn`t they just put *some water* into the fuel tank thus almost having individual cylinder water injection? I sometimes get off the wall ideas, and then don`t know how to prove that they...

    Aftermarket Turbos

    this is might sound like a stupid answer, but it is just a guess. 1.) reliability cost money, and most of us won`t pay extra for a turbo that is more reliable, we want power #'s. 2.) you are putting wheels in a turbo that was not made for them. 3.) all of the work to put the wheels in are...

    Why do new turbos come with one compressor/turbine fin painted white?

    I was kind of thinking like you were, I bet we are right, just someone that knows for sure needs to confirm it.

    Why do new turbos come with one compressor/turbine fin painted white?

    just like the title states, I have seen a couple of turbos (including mine) that have one white compressor fin, when brand new, what is this, or rather why? Anyways Thanks for curing my ignorance;)
