    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 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.

    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...

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

    Here's my '83 Pontiac Trans Am "Daytona 500" pace car. I'm currently in the works of a re-paint for the Hot Rod Power Tour 2011 and a decision to sell it or keep it when I get back from the tour. I like the car, but it's just not fast/quick enough for me. I'd love to be the guy to drop a bigger...
