To 19T or not to 19T...This is the question.
Ok, so it appears my turbo is truly fucked.
I don't have time to rebuild it, nor the tools/will to right now. I'm exhausted from school and these last two weeks are going to be rough.
My options from G-Pop Shop (best of places I've contacted):
High Performance Rebuild: pretty much stock rebuild w/ a steel thrust bearing, shipped back to me for: $430.
HP + 19T compressor wheel upgrade including machining: $605.
They are going to pull the turbo apart, see what was wrong with it, then let me know.
In the mean time, I'm having a hard time deciding to spend the extra coin. The car is a 90 1.6, but will be receiving a built 1.8 sometime within the year which I am shooting for at least upper 200s.
I'm broke, but wanted to see what the crew thought. 2.5" TBE, FMIC, MS, 550cc.
19T wheel should be good for roughly...310-320?

Yep.
Apparently all I need is the ETD manifold and everything else (downpipe included) should mate up just fine.
I know this came up before and you did the math saying ~315-330rwhp? The guys at the shop said it would be good for around the same amount of flow/power in the efficiency range.

I figure it would be a hell of a lot cheaper than buying new **** when I go 1.8.
I just don't want it to be a **** bucket on the 1.6 while I have it.

lol, so basically we aren't really sure?
Kinda like my injectors, more than enough for what I plan on doing.
But my main concern is how spool will be affected...it shouldn't hurt it that bad? its not like it is spectacular on a 1.6 compared to other turbos.

its more like this....
the 19T can support around 500CFM at 15psi (this doesn't mean 15psi will give you 500cfm). http://www.stealth316.com/images/td04h-19t-cfm.gif
500CFM is around 34.5 lb/min
34.5 lb/min / 12:1 AFR / (.55/60 BSFC) = 313BHP
34.5 lb/min / 11:1 AFR / (.55/60 BSFC) = 340BHP
push it to 550CFM and that's 38 lb/min or 377BHP if you use 11:1
Spool will likely suffer slightly. wheel isn't that much bigger...not like going to a 76mm wheel or something, the wheel is about the same size as mine.

Yes you should definately do it if you're planning on running it for the long haul. This is something I wanted to do badly.
GPOP claims that with the p&p job that they do, there is no difference in spool before/after between a totally stock turbo and the worked over 19t hybrid.
