Well, I'm pretty sure that my turbo is worn out. The motor sopposedly has only 22K on it, but I don't have any info that the turbo has been replaced. Car has 93K. I have a lot of oil in the up-pipe and for the first time last night, I got into boost for a second (long enough to rid myself of a pesky 96-7 Mustang) and noticed a puff of smoke upon hammering it. Car is tuned very well and with the RJC plate, I rarely get much knock in town. The oil is not a new thing, but when I installed the RJC plate, I noticed it more than I had before.
Question is: What is the most common upgrade at this point based on what I've done thus far? I just put new Blue Tops in, so I don't wanna buy a turbo that is too big for those injectors. I also plan to add a bigger convertor in the near future, so keep that in mind. I'd eventually be happy with a low 12 second/high 11 second car. I see a lot of guys going to the PTE 51 but I also remember the TA 49's being popular as well. I want stock appearing I think although the TE 44 is popular too. I just don't understand the difference in the TA vs the TE.
Any help would be appreciated
