Default 02 Ws6 trans am with a junkyard diesel turbo? sure why not

my friends car we have been working on recently.

flipped truck manifolds, junkyard 6.0, mack truck turbo measuring similar size to a S475 BW turbo.

just got it done and fired today on HPtuners 3 bar speed density OS (first time ive ever done it)

pretty neat, hopefully this turbo works out

I have to ask why do you have wires going all over the place?

Cool idea!! I wonder what kind of power it would make.

I agree the wire mess would drive me insane and I'm not that much of a clean freak at all.

Yeah I couldn't handle that wiring either. I learned my lesson when I was younger about halfass wiring. Now I do that **** where it looks stock. My fan setup could very easily be mistaken for a factory piece to someone not looking for it.

Which TV unit is it? I ran a TV7511 a while ago. It was a big turbo, but i was pushing 17psi at one point.

not totally sure, i can take a picture of the serial number on it

its a garrett, it was rebuilt recently from the tag thats on it and has nearly new Vbands and **** on it, says Air Research on the compressor.

ill see if i have a pic of the tag, if not might be able to get one, not sure if its hard to snag now that its on the car.

Mine was 250$ it's a tv7512 ( 76mm inducer , 102 mm exducer) and I made 705 with straight 93 through a 4l80e and a 9 inch at 13psi. Post up the serial numbers ill get you the info.

But I'm in dire need of a 88 at least.
