    TE what? TA huh?

    I've got a good friend who works at a turbo business in Michigan. I've asked him whether he could get me a TA-49 or TE-44 for my 87 GN.. and he says those are not numbers he's familiar with. Where can I find the specs on these turbos? I'm sure if I gave him that.. he'd be able to hook me up...
