They rate them at 800 with the smaller .96 exhaust housing. I'd think this housing would raise it 50-75hp.

It's a journal bearing turbo also, forgot to mention that.

So you used it, or didn't use it?

I did not use it. Bought it in January and haven't gotten that far into my build yet - life has gotten in the way.

It's been passed around to several people since Skinnies had it.
I bought it from 'sostreet' on here, who bought it from '1970camaroRS', who bought it from 'evo462' who bought it from Skinnies. Here's the trail... I don't think anyone's run it since Skinnies had it, no issues with it that I'm aware of

Default Turbo

This big enough for a 6.0?

A friend of mine runs one on a forged 6.0 with ported heads and cam and his car makes 600rwhp on 9psi. Much past 14psi and it'll be less efficient though

To the top. I'll take $650 for it if you figure out how to get it and pay for any fees

I'd like to buy it but I think it'll choke up top on an ls2

Might call Dr turbo and see what he thinks, if it'll support enough cfm for the extra cubes

If you're trying to make more than 700 to the ground I'd opt for something else. 750 will likely be where it stops making power with the bigger exhaust housing.

It's a stock bottom end ls2, I don't think it's good for any more power than that without hurting It i. just don't want it to run out of steam at 5k

I read that, seems like it would do what I want, maybe not the perfect turbo for the engine size but I won't have the fuel system to support much more than mid 600s right now.

I'm selling my maggie right now, I've had a handful of offers on it so far, if you have this once its gone I'll probably pick it up. Im not too far from you

Ha, that thing is being passed around like a bad joint! When I had it in my hands, it was in really good shape. Wish I had the budget and I would buy it back. Good luck with the sale! Should be a great turbo for a 6.0L stock motor!

Any shaft play or damage on this turbo?
