Car Craft recently had an issue where they strapped two ebay blowers on a hotrod and made close to 500whp. I've always wondered too since I always hear mixed reviews.



Edit: I don't know if they were on3 units, but they were definately ebay.

I have a 76mm O3P turbo that will be going in this winter. I'll let ya know. My plan was to just use it till it blew up and then pony up for a TC78.

Seen quite a few mustangs running these with good results. I plan on using them as does a friend while we test out the swap in our chassis. If I like the set up I am sure I will upgrade turbos...course with prices skyrocketing on turbos these days if these perform I might just stick with em! Gone are the days of $500 Borg Warner turbos.

If I had an F-body I would definitely save myself the time and get a Modular kit. But I am going to have to fab my own up for my application.

Even if this turbo works great you will eventually buy a good turbo, so why waste time and money?

Because most here are getting .81 ar housings which won't support the power of a turbo V8.
