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.
