Ah you're right. I didn't see that .63 was the largest option.

Hell, maybe I'll look into a different kit. Wonder if there's any market for a TN kit with a blown up turbo. I only put about 35 miles on the turbo after the seal went, so at least it shouldn't be damaged beyond what a basic rebuild will take.

 

That shouldn't have happened. It came with a restrictor, right?

The Garrett 60-1 is available with an .82 a/r. Cheap replacement that probably has better oil seals. http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant...egory_Code=TBN

 

Not sure about a restrictor. I believe I read that TN builds them into the turbo, or its in the fitting they supply with their kit. I didn't build this car, I bought it from someone who had all of the work done at GTM in CA. I assume it was done properly. I just now pulled off the intake pipe and found that there's no shaft play, but there is a decent coating of oil on everything. I'll check out the Garrett one though, thanks!

 

No warranty? 35 miles is either a factory defect or improper installation. I only recommend the Garrett because it's affordable and as others have said, it's pointless to get a bigger turbo unless you upgrade the rest of the kit.

 

I was saying I only drove 30ish miles with it smoking like hell. No idea how many miles are on the turbo itself. Bought the car with turbo kit secondhand, so no warranty.

 

After running a compression test to make sure it wasn't the engine, I put everything back together, drove easy for a few days and finally made a full boost pull to redline. Filled the road with a thick cloud of smoke from the tailpipes. Guess at least now I know where all my oil's been going..
