Yes, but I only bought the manifolds online... I picked up the turbos from a local parts distributor.

The dream was to build a fun car with less than $5k in under a year that I could have fun with at the track!

Yes, the turbo was used, but rebuilt. When my buddy rebuilt it though he put a huge fucking exhaust housing on that most diesels would have a hard time spooling. So I did what any dumbass would do to spool this big of a turbo... I hit it with nitrous
and bye bye seals lol.

I will answer these when I get official numbers with video and paper documentation... this car probably won't see a 1/4mile since I'm geared for the 1/8th mile... 4.08's and a 3 speed... Carb is built and tuned for boost

No worries... I don't really get ran off sites unless I get banned.. I'll let everyone know how long the turbos last when they break
