I'm seeing a lot of posts on here on which turbo is the best or what is better compared to what...I can honestly say our PT61 turbo is one of the coolest turbos ever created for our cars...this turbo only requires a 3200 stall and out-performs any of the 50 series turbos and makes almost the same power (650hp) as the 62-64 big shaft turbos (700hp) which are much slower to spool and take a larger stall anyways...PLUS the PT61 only sells for $675 without actuator! It's the most powerful turbo that's out there for that price
let's put it this way...for all you guys who are running BONE STOCK setups with pure bolt ons like my car or if you have a mild heads and cam setup and your car is mostly street driven with occasional track visits...this turbo flat out rules them all...it will carry a mild heads and cam combo into the very high 10's, and carry a bone stock motor (depending on weight of car) into the low 11's
on my full weight GN (3700 lbs with me in it), and a BONE stock untouched motor with just the usual valve springs and timing chain, I've gone 11.57 @ 116 mph with about 25 lbs of boost with a lousy 1.62 60 foot on slicks, torque converter not locking up and slipping the entire run, and running a tad rich until right before I'm crossing the finish...
this turbo with my converter spools up instantly on the street and it will rip the tires all the way up to 60 mph...not much can hang with me on the street unless they have a serious combo! this turbo goes well with either 50 lb injectors or preferably our new 65 lbers (for guys who like to max things out like myself)...it also goes VERY well with either our stock location intercooler or our front-mount
choice is yours...but I'm not sure why you would want anything different unless you want to run serious into the mid 10's or if you want a mild stock appearing turbo
