Turbo questions

I have a few questions on the turbo for my car. I am looking to rebuild or replace the turbo on my high mileage car. I am looking for guidance on where to get everything needed to rebuild it if I decide to go this route. I need the seals, shaft, and impellor blades. If I were to replace the turbo, which turbo should I go with? I was looking at Precision turbos and Turbonetics turbos. I have a stock motor right now. On the turbo I took apart, there is a 60 on the hot side and a 63 on the cold side. Is this an indication of mm size? If not, how can I determine the turbo size? The turbo appears to be rebuilt in the past, and it looks like it was modified.

I am in the planning process to build a performance motor for the car, and would like to know what turbos are used to keep the car a street car, but increase the performance of the car. I would like to know what turbos other members are running with their modified motors.

Can you also let me know where to get a new oil return line and gaskets?
 
my advice would be to get a new turbo and stall converter that are made to work together. I suggest contacting Dusty at PTC to help you decide a turbo/converter combination that suits your needs.
 
Yea, agree with Jarred. I had a te-63, big turbo on the car before with 2800 convertor and it was not very streetable.

I went with the TE-44 with the same 2800 convertor and it spools instantly, great around town... I think the list does a good job describing the different types of turbos and what you are looking to do with them.
 
right now its mostly stock very high mileage 192,000 on clock older chip 3" ex. hoping to build new motor over winter looking mid 11 low11 better
