Junkyard Turbo Hey,
Has anyone bought any old turbos (rear) from junkyards or really cheap ones and set it up on their ls1. I am just wondering how succesful it was , post some pics of them.

Theres another site too for fbods thats made a $1K setup work with a truck turbo from a junkyard. I think he broke 400rwhp with 5-6psi and ran it for awhile with no probs. i think it all depends on your DIY skills
