Of course, since used junkyard turbos from the 80's ALL need a rebuild prior to be re-used anyways , You can pick ANY automotive T3 from a Saab, volvo, renault, peugeot, nissan or mercedes... They usually have a small .42 a/r 40, 45 or 50 trim compressor, and simply send it to any turbo shop to have it rebuilt + upgraded to a t3 .48/.60 60 trim or even a small t3/t4. Some shops are apparently cheaper than others and warranty their work for 6 months. Just Look around.

Do a search to confirm but the turbo coupe was made from 83-88. I believe ford stoped using the garrett 48/60 for 1987/88 and switched over to the ihi which is smaller.
48/60 was also offered on some mercedes too, have no idea which specifc models/years.

Yeah, maybe mercedes did but it'S an odd ball turbo with all kinds of weird flanges. The special edition GNX also had a .60 compressor that's even larger than 60 trim. It's basically a t4 wheel in a t3 housing and a unique carbon seal backplate that's compatibe with nothing else. Pretty rare. and i have one.
