    What are these plates for?

    Ah nice! So I dont have to keep the factory angle of the hot/cold housings? That will make my life so much easier! Haha I never knew that! Stupid turbo newbs anyways ;)

    What are these plates for?

    Oh I see. Can you rotate the housing freely to have different angles for the exhaust inlet/intake outlet?

    What are these plates for?

    I'm just wondering what these plates on the hot side of the turbo are for? One has the rabbit ears and one is just plain. I would like to use the plain one as part of a mounting point for a bracket, since I'm using a T04 turbo off an 87 GN on my slant six-powered truck. That seems the most...

    adjusting a stock wastegate?

    I actually dont have an actuator yet. Im looking to buy one (I put an ad in the wanted section). I saw adjustable wastegates but the smallest psi setting I heard they go to was 12. Can you mod them to run 10?

    adjusting a stock wastegate?

    I have a 1977 Dodge D100 pickup with a slant six that Im using a GN turbo on. I have read that the engines in stock form can handle 10psi daily driven, but I have heard that the stock wastegates are rated at 14-15psi. Is there a way to mod the wastegate actuator to run 10psi?

    Need turbo elbow and wastegate actuator

    Looking for the exhaust elbow that goes off the hot end of the turbo, as well as a wastegate actuator. The thing is, I'm using a GN turbo on a slant six and I need to get the boost to 10psi max, so I don't know how to do that, since I heard the stock psi for the GN is 15.

    1978 Buick LeSabre Sport Coupe - EFI turbo conversion Q's

    Hey guys, my dad has a 1978 Buick LeSabre Sport Coupe that he bought from a guy in Minneapolis that converted the original carb'd turbo to an EFI turbo from an '84-85 hot-air car. The block/internals are the original 1978 engine, but the heads and up are from the '84-85 setup. It needs a little...

    I have a GMP GNX with a crack in the rear window. It was like that when I took it out of the box new. Other than that, it's beautiful. Asking $75 shipped.

    GMP 1:18 GNX

    I have a diecast model of the GNX made by GMP in 1:18 scale. I have put it on display for about a half a year. I bought it brand new from GoMotorBids as damaged from the factory. The rear window has a crack in it. Other than that, it is in great shape. I paid $90 plus shipping. I'll let it go...

    WANTED: '84-87 GN/T-Type for $5K or under

    I'm looking for a car that I can buy in the spring for a new project car. Must run/drive and not have any major mechanical/drivability issues (I'd like to drive the car home). Can be a hot-aired car or an intercooled, but I'm guessing I'll find a nicer hot-aired car in my price bracket than an...

    Not exactly a "turbo" or a "Buick", but it does the job for now...

    Thanks! Yeah, they are a rare Bird for sure. The T-5 is nice, but I wish it had a bigger V8 and a T-56...

    how much $$$ would I be spending on this?

    Man, I'd LOVE a WE4 car! That one does look very nice. I agree on the history, but sometimes you just don't know the whole story. I'm definitely going to buy the car from here because most of the people on this site are enthusiasts and take care of the cars. Some people just own them to beat the...

    Bought a Syclone

    Damn nice Syclone there dude! I had the same thing happen, only with an '87 Grand National. I had one in '03 and sold it in '04. Been kicking myself ever since, but I'm determined to buy another Turbo Buick within the next few years after I sort out my financial issues.

    how much $$$ would I be spending on this?

    I'd like to get an idea of what I should be expect to spend on the car that I want. Here's the basic list: 1986-1987 turbo car (T-Type/Turbo T) exterior color - black (preferably t-top) interior color - gray with console miles - under 100K engine/drivetrain - runs/shifts perfectly, no...

    Interior Color Change

    The clear coat is SO nice! You can put as many coats as you want! I put like 5 coats on my stuff and it had a nice low-gloss sheen to it. Very nice stuff. I'm sure the seatbelt area will still rub somewhat, but that's just something you might have to touch up once in awhile. Guess it's the name...
