I would do a rear if I could find a clutch kit.....as far as I know, they have been discontinued by everyone for the stock posi.

Thanks for the info here. I have a dumb question, since Discostewie did my Alky/chip mods, the turbo spools up TERRIBLY slow.
I thought about new valve springs and a new turbo to help, but could I just rebuild mine to make it spool faster?

Again, sorry for the dumb question, it's stock motor/turbo with 62K miles on it and has DP and cold-air intake.

What needs to be upgraded to turn a stock turbo into a TA-49? Is it worth it if we then have to send the turbo somewhere to be balanced?

It's not something you can do yourself Rick. The intake housing has to be machined for the larger wheel so you can do it.

Thank you for showing us what it takes to rebuild a turbo. I look forward to
using all the info you provided! How can we contact SCE for the gasket?

Hi Joey,
The kit that I got came with a paper gasket instead of the o-ring on the
compressor back plate. Do you think I should use it or just re-use the
old o-ring? Thanks, steve
