[NEWCHAPTER]

I have about $1000 to spend on myself for Christmas and was looking at upgrading the turbo to G T 6131 E Buick Street Strip Turbo from Fullthrottlespeed. I have the following mods below.

Alky is the best upgrade by far to any buick. Best bang for the buck.

If you are going to spend the money on a turbo get the GT6152E. This way you can grow into your turbo and not out of it. I purchased one this summer and could not be happier. Your 60lb injectors will support this turbo well. Just get a good chip and you are good to go.

Wouldnt that one need a new convertor

I'd buy a new alky kit from Razor.... then find a used TE44 from a board member with plenty of good feedback.... that should be doeable for around $1000 .... and then you have enough to easily go sub 11.50's with traction.....

A slam dunk....Alchy should be next....

A 3200 or 3400 converter would complement that particular turbo however I have seen two cars with stock converters running that turbo and they were still very happy.

A manual boost controller will build boost fairly quickly on the Ta-49 class of turbos without a higher stall converter.

Alky...and traction

Well I guess i should have done a poll but it looks like majority are saying alky, guess i will look into razor's kit. thanks

the alky kit will make your stock turbo more efficiant past 23 psi. the alky will lower your air temp from turbo dramatically making it more efficient

I like that plan there.
or you could get the turbo and some good tires and fill it up with 110. My 11.59 is on stock suspension with one air bag, stock original trans with stock converter and 110.
Good luck,
