 I got a zero lateral play turbo from the junk yard for $31 last
Thursday, that makes 3 this month for less then $100.00 total. All are
being cleaned up, one of the others is getting new bearings. I'll use
two and throw one on the shelf. Would I sell them to a customer, hell
no, will I use them on my latest Frankenstein engine, absolutely. 

They are out there, Bart you afraid of 150,000 rpm with bench top
rebuilds? SHOCKING!

Hey Bart~!

wondered if you'd 'pipe up' from that post ;0

for your reference:

www.mjmturbo.com

Jamie is the owner - bat the breeze on a build with him!

a nice properly sized Garrett rebuilt with warranty will set you back
around $550.00.

not a Ball Bearing item - we're talking a 'Fun in The Sun'
cruiser driver - not 'Flaming Rice Ball from Hell'

how competent your skills or
your friends are with tube cutting & basic welding is 'the factor'.

For a Six - you can 'U' the pipe up from the exhaust header & mount the
Turbo in the engine compartment.

For V8 - most are mounting a single Turbo under the car just aft of left
or right exhaust header / joined collector area - using stock exhaust
manifolds.

Under an AMC EAGLE is great - the
stock ride height is 'jacked' by the factory so road clearance isn't a
real concern.



bang for the buck - it is still the cheapest way of making HP / Torque -


Turbo stuff is all over eBay - plenty of 'ricers'
swap up parts - it isn't like it was 10 years ago.


For a cast piston engine - 6lbs. boost is fine and should bring 50% more
power to the engine without an Intercooler...... 

so we're talking plumbing
& BO valve & carb bonnet ....... 

way cheaper than cams / carb /
intake / headers for a street driven ride - 

and the car would
remain more s'treetable' than one 'cammed' & carb'd -

but it does take research  - and - the local talent available to get the
plumbing in place -agreed!

Cmooon,here we go again with the 'miracle mods' where you can magically
hit your local yard and pick up all these simple easy turbo's ect. It's
not that easy i'm sorry as 9 times outta10 your not finding crap like
that nowadays and its already broken in the first place.If you want to
spend the several thousand on a 'turbo setup' Your best bet is to buy
the hairdryers brand new through a company like Garret,Banks ect.
