I have the ATR 850 turbo on my TY now with the 3" downpipe. I am going to upgrade. I would like to use the TE-60 but I don't think it will hook up to ATR downpipe and ATR header (that I have in the still in the box). I would like to put on a new turbo when I do the headers. Or should I just use the ATR 920 cfm turbo. Thanks for your help.... BP

I don't know where to start.

A 60 is a teeny upgrade from a 44. TE60 doesn't tell you anything about the exhaust housing, which determines if it will bolt up to your downpipe.

Best bet is to just upgrade to a PTE exhaust housing. Why are you going to headers? Something tells me you haven't spent time dialing in and really tweaking the most out of your combo. what have you ran ? what are your goals ? what other mods do you have ?

Brian, I was going for high 11 or low 12. I have 850 turbo, 9/11 stall, ultimate chip, and atr intercooler, 3" downpipe, 3" cat back, 160 thermostat, atr air filter relacation kit, afpr, walbro 255 and rebuilt trans. I was planning on rebuilding my engine this spring but my trans went out in my mazada 626 this year for the second time in 2 years. Another 1800 dollar rebuild. But I have decided to get another car and put half the money I had set a side for the rebuid on the down payment for the new car. So I was trying to find some modes to do that would drop my time but be in my 3000 dollar price range.

Thanks Brian

Daron's at 12.42 on basically a stock truck with lots of tuning, and Tooky hit 12.58 with basically a stock truck (http://syty.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19750) too. I'm no expert by any means, but I'd think you could get low 12s or high 11s with the upgrades you already have, if you just tuned it some more. More time, but less money I'd think...
