Yep.  This one's got the turbonetics logo cast into it, so this would be the first 
generation.  The current specs aren't going to really help much, considering that 
they're different.

>From memory, though, the original offerings in this turbo there weren't nearly as many 
different options that you could get, I remember there being only a couple of 
possibilities, with the choice of compressor determining the rest of the package.  I 
was hoping that a) I was correct and b) that someone might remember what those choices 
were.

I plan on running this at about 12 PSI boost.  Maybe 14 if I'm out to have some fun.  
It's gotta provide a lot more kick than the CT26 at similar manifold pressures.  I 
just wanted to have an advance idea of what I'm looking at for lag, and what kind of 
power 12-14PSI is going to make.
