13bt Aftermarket turbo

[Cavalier2000]

13bt guys. Anyone running an aftermarket turbo or is everyone still running stock. Been thinking about an upgraded one since mine is already turned up. Maybe something that breathes a little better.

I think @Hulsty was running a Gturbo. @gerg or @Dougal should be able to help with suggestions other than than bolt-on stuff.

Yeah I've been running a Gturbo, maybe 10 years now.

Munro racing in Australia does 13bt turbos
Wink 4x4 in Europe does as well
Of course gturbo

i found i need more airflow for my ct26. Snorkel is restricting it.

How much boost you running? I ran a vac gauge beyond 25psi boost, couldnt measure any appreciable vacuum in the intake.

Usually the CT26 is considered on the big side for the 13BT.

In any case, it certainly is quite outdated!

A modern turbo will spool much faster, and can produce higher pressure ratios. Get some educated/experienced advice before laying out cash. Lots of variables to think about in spec'ing something new.
