What year of T-bird? There are two competely different turbos for the t-bird. IHI or T3?

Also, screw spool time, Low Spool time means low power!!!!!!

With a good tune 12+psi won't be needed for 200whp. The 14b might run ou of huff a little up top at the psi. Need to know what year of T-bird to mke a jdgement call on that one. an '84 would be WAY better then an '87 though. T3 vs IHI.

7 is not max on stock internals, not by a long shot unless you can't tune worth a ----!

Yeah you don't want anything off of a t-bird from 87/88, they switched to smaller ihi turbos.

Get the t3. even if it's nt from a t-bird, it better then an IHI or a 14b. More popular and easy towork with.

t3 60/63 will have the highest spool time and biggest top end, a .48 will have better spool at some expense of the top end but it should be faster than a 14b, even though the 14b is a good choice also
