Wanted: cheap turbo I think I'm going to try the remote mount turbo on my 4.3L Sonoma for kicks. I'd like something that has the standard 4 bolt square exhaust inlet flange, and circular exhaust outlet flange (T4?), that can support at least 450rwhp (in case I decide to move the turbo to something else later). I'm thinking someone who bought a T-60 kit and upgraded to a T-76 might have something sitting around. The cheaper the better! 
I'll also need an electric scavenging pump and a small external wastegate, so drop me a line of you have those parts as well.

There is really a ton of space down there, so much so that I once thought of mounting a 10# n2o bottle under the truck, and it would have still been above the subframe.
