yea, I figured I could give a good idea of the size of this slug with it, while at the same time putting in a good word for the best pop in the world...
Unfortunately, I can't say that one is for me... That is a Garret and the one I am using is a precision turbo. Funny thing is, along with my precision should be a twin to that Garret for my dad's '56 chevy...Can you imagine how that'll look under the hood?

N2, I tried to spin it with my finger...but my finger wasn't too happy about those blades, so it's pretty dead on the table. LOL I was seriously tempted to hook it to the shopvac on the "blow" setting...
Turbo85, Maybe this is a good thing for you, I can work out the details and tell you what NOT to do. What do you have planned so far?

 Keep those pics coming.

 I'm sure I'll be doing a bunch of stuff I'm not supposed to do anyway, but every little bit of advice helps!Quote:
), install a TBI setup controlled with MegaSquirt. A twin turbo setup would be awesome, but currently I'm thinking a single with an exhaust crossover for simplicity. But then again, a twin setup would let me get away with smaller (less expensive) turbos which sould spool up faster.... Anyway, I won't be at that point for another year or two. I'm still working on making the truck rock-solid-dependable as is right now. |
