Trying to decide which turbo I should run on the typhoon.

I have them both here. I have a PTE housing to put on the TE44, so I can run the PTE DP.

What is a better quality turbo? The garrett is water and oil cooled, where the PTE is just oil cooled.

I could use either one, just wanted to get some opinions first.

I don't think either would be a big enough turbo, after an engine rebuild.....so I'm just talking about on the stock engine. TC is 2800, so thats not a problem.

Having had the 44 I would go with that since you don't have big enough injectors. If your going to bigger injectors go with the 51. My sig shows my time with the TE44 from PTE.

I guess I could do the 50lb injectors, since I'm going to have an ultimate from the sy. Not too mention the bling polished look of the 51 and top portion of the DP.

Can't wait to ditch that stock downpipe.

I may have a te44 up for sale soon with a PTE exh housing, and a top portion of the DP that has been jethot coated. It would require the rest of the DP to be fabbed up, but I would be willing to sell it for around $800.

Ok, leaning towards the 51. What plugs do I get for the water lines? I need to get those, if anyone has a pic or size of what I need that would be helpful.

thanks jimmy.

Should I get that from PTE? , or does anyone know the size?

Is there another plug underneath where the coolant drains? same size?

Depends on what you are going to do mostly with your truck. If drag racing is your thing, I'd recommend the PT-51 if you have the fuel. If autocross or track days or daily driving is your hobby, I'd stick with the TE-44. Then again the new ball bearing turbos give you some room to move up in size with less turbo lag. Since, I drive mostly on the street w/ occassional auto x and a bit of drag racing, I opted for the TE-44 with the wet center section.

Read tooky's post about his 51...believe he is running 11's on stock injects....however i'm sure he is pushing them, as well as the engine...he even says it...but it is possible with stock injects. Scan tool!
