I am thinking of uprgrading my turbo. I have been talking to Ron Joseph from Ron's Custom Auto. He suggests w/ my setup to go with a TA-61. I was wondering if anyone is running this turbo and if you are how you like it. Is there a lot of lag and what the setup you are running w/ it. He also has a brand new GNX turbo he is willing to sell me for a good price installed and says it will spool quicker and has the ceramic ball. I will probably go with the ta-61 because of the price difference.
TA61 Anyone running one

Ta/Te61
I'm not sure of your combination but I have used '61's in a bunch of cars and all have performed very well. Cars have gone mid 10's with them. Lag is very little, even with a D-5 converter. I have 2 customers cars currently running this turbo. One runs 10.90's @ 126mph w/9-11 converter, the other went 7.40's in the 1/8 with a D-5 converter, stock long-block, stock intercooler.

Combo
What is your combo:
* what are you running now (turbo)?
* Torque Convertor you are running?
* what is your plans (track / street)?
* TA61 is a John Craig turbo from Limit Engineering
* Ron Joseph is "TurboBuick Guru", he knows his stuff and I am sure he talked to you about all this already.
I am running low 11s with a TA61

right now I am running stock turbo and intercooler. I have 009's, powerplate,
fuel pump, 3" THDP, hooker catback, and will be having Eric Schertz of Dynotech is going to install one of his shift kits and i have to talk to him again, but i think he said to put a 2800-3000 stall converter in. Just have to find right combo for the turbo, i think he will know best on that. I am going to pick up my intercooler today and my alky kit is on the way.
