Turbo on a sbc?

I have a turbo thats not being used and I know someone has put one a on sb but my question is how and can you run it with one header without connecting the both? The turbo is a t4 Garrett. Any suggestions, pics would be great.

On one header..... Easy,,, you put one just like it on the other side.

Seriously. I doubt you would build enough boost to make it worth the plumbing exersize.

Single turbo no crossover tube will be completely non functional. You would need twin turbo's as stated.

And fwiw, Garett and T4 are not sizes. Garrett is simply the manufacturer, T4 is the flange type. We'd need to know what the actual turbo specs are....my guess is its a takeoff, and probably way too small for the engine.

Correct... and dont jump the gun! T4's depending on the trim of the wheel went up to 1.19 a/r on the exhaust which is more than adequate for any small block. Like BR3WCITY said we need specs on the turbo including a/r on the exhaust side and the wheel measurements on the cold side to determine the trim #. Then we need to know how many cu in your motor is. After that we can help you
