I honestly haven't been frequenting this board as much as I used to but we (PTE) introduced the new dual ball bearing turbos for the Buicks back at the Indy race. Yes that's right a DUAL ball bearing Garrett made CHRA. What does this mean to you? Well you can pretty much lower your stall requirements on all turbos by about 400 rpms or more. The overall transient response is alot quicker, turbos run cooler since they are water cooled, are more durable and tolerate more abuse, and increase overall efficiency.
I can do the following turbos in this format for the Buicks.
TE44
TE60
PT6131 with E or S cover
PT6776 with E, S, or H cover
Prices on these are $1199 for the 44, 60, and 61. Price is $1375 for the 67.
You'll be able to run the 44, 60, and even the 61 on a stock converter. The 67 will require a 3000-3200 stall. Please note we are still working on a water line kit for these but we do sell the universal kits that include the correct fittings and banjo bolts and tubes. You would just have to hook up your own lines going to the tubes. Cost on the kits are $75. Actuators for these whether heavy duty or standard are $82.
