Appreciate the reply. Reason I asked is I have the same turbo with the same exh housing, cam, etc. and in the market for a new converter. Some of the most respected trans builders have told me now days with new converter technology, 2800 - 3000 can do the job even with a TE45A. Even though I understood what they were saying, I honestly was a bit skeptical because I was used to the old thinking that you needed a fairly high stall to spool that turbo, especially if you didn't have the smaller Garrett .63. Good to see an example of someone getting it done. Thanks.
