I noticed that GBodyparts has the 44 on sale for 595 and wanted to know the major differences in these two turbos.
TA49 or TE-44

rippin sh!t up!
Basically the TA49 is stock appearing and the TE44 is not. Both make about the same power (TE44 a bit more). You should be able to spool them on your stock torque converter.
Yes, the TA49 works well - see signature.

I think I'll go with the 49. It costs more but I think it will suit my needs as a stock appearing turbo. With alky, I can really crank it up.:biggrin:
I'd go for the TE-44, it's the same wheel with a more efficient housing and will make a little more power then a 49 although very close. I noticed a 200rpm difference in spool up from my stock turbo. And I ran a best 60ft of 1.61 on the stock converter. I tried to get an even better launch but snapped my axle.

I just had the same debate and went with the TE-44.

Does anybody have a pic of a 44 on their car?
a te44 will fit under stock shield no problem.with a te44 & stock converter you will love it.youll have a sh.t eatten grin you wont be able to wipe off.many people have been in the 11,s w/a te44.and tinman went 10,s with a te44 & a lot more boost than you will ever run.
It will easily fit.

44 all the way its a very quick and amazing torque for such a small turbo.

restalled d5 or bone stock d5?
My 1.61 60ft was done on a stock D5 on a cooler day. On a hot day I ran a 1.67 with my low milage stock car running 19psi.
What was your boost at the line? Was it an E-brake launch?
How do pull such low 60's with the stock stall ?
E-Brake Launch, Line Lock or transbrake ?
I havent been to the track in a while, but I could never get below a 1.8 with my stock stall and turbo. After a few lbs of boost Id push thru the lights..

I too as TheGovernment mentioned, went through the same debate. I was leaning toward the 49 for stock appearing reasons also. Another thing that pushed me toward the 49 is the 44 requires a different or modified wg actuator.
I ended up with a fresh rebuilt 49 I bought off the board. Im having fun with it so far. Have to get back to the track to tune it. going 20+ on the street is trouble waiting to happen
This was a really cold day, track is 330ft but was well bellow sea level with the temp. This was on a foot brake with a 10psi launch.
I needed bald drag radials or slicks to get into the 1.6x. On a stock turbo my best was 1.67 on slicks, holding 15lbs at the line with the foot brake. The brakes on my cars are really good.
