Default Is this turbo a good choice?

I am trying to select a turbo for my TTi street kit setup on a stock engine. Found a new Garrett with this description.

New Garrett T67 with S cover 4" inlet 2.5" outlet, T4 turbine, on center,.96 a/r 3" v-band downpipe, good for 600-700 to tire

Seems like it would work well. I just don't know what an S cover is.

Any thoughts?

Ya, but they don't use that big of and a/r.

I am just trying to figure out if this is suitable for my project. Mine is a normal front mount turbo.

Hell why not, Bigger is better, So get the biggest one on the page. Who cares about turbo lag!!!! Just rev the motor to about 3k rpm and then drop the clutch when the light goes green. J/K man

I got one of the early STS kits and my 67 did come with a .96 A/R and I sent it back 2 weeks later for a .81 A/R. The turbo itself has been great.

I am not trying to figure out if I have the correct size turbo or correct a/r ratio. I already know what turbo size(s) would work for me.

I mainly wanted to know what was an S cover and if this turbo would physically fit on my TTi kit.

The TTi street kit uses a 4 bolt down pipe, not a V band flange.

Good point Carl. I must have been an idiot to miss that.

I guess I could buy a flange and make my own downpipe; thought about making my own anyway.
