I have been searching ebay these past couple months. I first got me a turbo manifold. Got it cleaned up and put some ceramic paint on it and baked it on. Now I bought a little turbo for it. Here's the link for the one i bought... http://www.exileturbo.com/products/item_details.asp?idProduct=9Its gotta come from Florida so it may take a while. I am excited to get this going. I wish I had a digital camera to put some pictures up... Here soon hopefully.

You should have bought masking tape when you bought the yellow paint. Or should not have bought yellow paint and spent the money on more beer.

And by the way..... You should buy better beer.




And seriously, I'm looking forward to finding out how much better that diesel will be with that turbo. My guess is it will really come to life. Good luck you guys.

Ah, The Milwaukee Beast. Its like buying cheap rocket fuel. It might get you to orbit or it might fizzle out, but either way there is always a chance something will explode.

nope no mad dog never even herd of night train..... just cheap beer. keystone, natural, but i think Milwaukee Best Ice is the better of the cheap beer. Its only $13 a 30 pack. Speakins of which I am all out. Better go to the store and get some more!

get a EGT and boost gage.

keep it under 12psi at 3,000rpms and 100% coal mode. you know what i mean.

you dont want to run over 900F for long hills or loads. to much stress on the rods.
900F+ with 12psi will tear it, in time going up long hills.

you have an engine thats was N/A from the factory right? with N/A rods, valves, piston pins, and 21/1 compresson. though the compresson is the same for bolth from the factory.

if you ever come acrost a set of rods from a trooper diesel grabem theyll hold up much better.

it will run for a long time if you dont push it, if you do, it will give most likley be a rod or valve.

with all the work your putting in to it, it (will) be a very nice ride.
