Paul,

Could you ask Dave Elpern about information on a discontinued turbo

Garrett used to make. A map of the TE-06 would be great. Availability of
parts would help out Tom Parkes. No one at Honeywell

seems to know what it is or heard of it.  It is the turbo that Tom Parkes

is using on his 20b. I'll be going with a similar system to Tom's. I'll just
match up the map.

Dave is out of the turbo business.

Try this guy: John Craig (928) 453 7321 Limit Engineering Lake Havasu AZ.
Not far from where Tom Parkes lives in  Prescott AZ. Retired Garret

technician.

Also what is the size of the hole where the exhaust gases come out
of the turbine? What is the size of the hole where the fresh air goes
into the compressor? Coming out of the compressor?

Measure the area of the exhaust passage where it goes into the turbo
charger. Measure the distance from the center of that hole
to the center of the turbine shaft. You will then know the approximate
A/R. One can probably come up with a similar TO4 configuration.

Hugh Mcinnes mentioned the TE0670 in his early 1978 edition of

"Turbochargers"

He said it had no oil seal on the compressor end. As I recall
Tom had problems with oil blowing out of the exhaust. We at first thought
it was drain back problems but this shines a new light on the problem.

Yes, I too would be interested in a map for the Garrett TE-06 (or TEO6), as
no one I've talked to has been able to assist.  I'll try John Craig also.

Regarding oil seals on the turbine end: the TE-06 does have seals on both
ends, according to Main Turbo in Visalia, CA.  They overhauled it for me.
Had a phone call today from a gent in Michigan who is turbocharging a 13B.
He reports the same problem I had: smoke out the exhaust on first few runs.
I advised him of the restrictor that solved my smoke problem.  I also
suggested he sign on to ACRE.

Come to think of it some more probably the 100 psi rotary oil pressure
also had something to do with it.
