Well I'm in the process of a full rebuild on my 87 Turbo Runner, but I'm not having alot of luck with finding a place to rebuild my Turbo. Does anyone have a shop they'd like to suggest? I really appreciate any help, thanks.

dont waste your money on the stock ct20 turbo

go find a ct26 from a supra, easy mod and MUCH better

just about any turbo is better than the one that came stock on the trucks,

dont pay somebody to rebuild what was junk to begin with

It's not a junk turbo.. How many mid-late 1980s turbos can make it over 100k miles?

It was a turbo hooked to a hard line exhaust system (no flex tube) -so it tends to crack.

Performance wise, it's a bit on the small side.

Talk to guys at the gpop shop about rebuilding it. If it's cracked (exhaust side) hold on to your wallet.

Consider a CT26 (requires some modifications) or a t3 instead.

i also suggest a T3, not from experience but from research.

My new truck has a T3 that suppose to go in a sabb. Works great and everyone looks when you let off the gas because it sounds like a big turbo diesel. Good Luck!

the saab t3 is .42/.48. Very common.. I've run one also -- great choice for a stock 22rte.

What do those numbers mean? I am new to the turbo side of things....

jimbo74 · « **Reply #8 on:** Jul 02, 2007, 08:32:16 AM »

not sure what the decimaled numbers above mean...

but ct26, ct20, t3 are turbo models.. the t3 is a garrett, the otehrs are toyota... the ct20 came on the 22rte, the ct26 came on a supra with a 7mgte

robrub00 is going to run a ct26 on his 4runner

main turbo in visalia is very good they do from car to truck to airplane.

The numbers are the "AR" ratio on the turbo. Do a basic google search for:
"turbo" "AR" "trim" - you'll find a page that gives the detail.

A smaller AR means a quick spooling turbo. A larger AR means slower spooling, more top end.
