    Turbo for stock longblock?

    I'm still trying to decide on which turbo to run on my T-Type. I really like the TA-61 that is currently installed, but it is in need of a rebuild. Are any of the newer turbos PROVEN to outperform the TA-61 on a stock longblock/converter combo? Combo in sig. Thanks.
