    Gasket leak at turbo exhaust?

    Doing some spring cleaning, fresh ta-49 install and let her run for a few minutes. From the looks of the seal and judging by the amount of smoke and the fact that I feel the air pushing out of this gasket, I'd say the seal is shot. Looking for input as to how to go about changing this seal. Most...

    What Kind of Turbo is this?

    Removed the turbo shield today, just trying to identify the turbocharger make. I bought the 86 TType/GN clone a couple weeks ago, receipts say turbo, engine, and transmission rebuild at 75XXXmi, but he doesn't identify any brand names (as far as I can tell, can't read all of his handwriting)...

    My girlfriend is thinking about shipping her car cross country. We drove the car last May from Chicago to San Diego; her Ford Escort now has 105,XXX miles on it.
