Like the title says, I'm a turbo newbie. I've been following many threads regarding turbo upgrades, but I'm having trouble trying to decipher the various trims, wheel sizes and the like. What's the recommended turbo for a stock unopened long block/stock converter equipped street driven car with the mods in my sig? Based on what I've read it would seem the ta49 or te44 is a good choice, but I don't understand the difference between the two. Is a ball bearing turbo, or perhaps the ceramic cartridge equipped ones worth the coin? What about water cooled ones? Does anyone have a link that could school me?
