On Paul Yaw's site (http://personal.riverusers.com/~yawpower/ac13bt.html) he
comments as follows:

"The turbo (From Turbonetics) is a Garrett TO4E, 50 trim compressor, P trim
exhaust, with a modified 1.3 AR ratio housing. The turbine wheel is made of
inconel. The center section is water cooled. The turbo feeds the engine through a
small intercooler made by Spearco.

Boost is 6.4 psi at 6500 rpm. (43" Hg. manifold pressure.) Boost is controlled by a
Turbonetics "Deltagate""

If I remember correctly he used to have a section on his website that described his
problems with choosing the correct turbo but I cannot find it now.

I'm very interested to hear how you get on
