The Turbo.

Here it is. A Garrett GT4082. It is off a 6.0l Volvo powered excavator. It is A/F .58 on the compressor and an A/F 1.18 on the turbine side. Maybe a bit big in the turbine...we'll see if a 350 has a hard time spooling it If not, I will try the trick of blocking off one of the scrolls (as it is a twin scroll) one of the fun tricks you will find on theTurboForums.com (aka turbomustangs.com). If you are planning on building a turbo car...you MUST spend some time on that site....anything you want to know is there somewhere...

I bought this used on eaby...so crossing my fingers that it is good (I have had some bad luck with used ebay stuff)...it seems tight...no shaft play of visible issues and turns nicely and the seller deals in used turbos and has a 99% rating...but I won't know for sure till it fires up.
Cost $153.oo
