That's a small turbo. You sure won't be making much power with it.

if it's not blown, thats a great little turbo. dont expect to make crazy power on it though..

they're ball-bearing so they spool quick and can push a descent bit of psi. would be a great turbo on a stock-mild D series or a stock B series motor

there's all kind of flange adapters to run it on any t3/t4/whatever manifold you want, you'll just have to have the downpipe made. probably more hassle than it's worth.. :lol:

The psi part is irrelevant, it'd probably make that y8 actually make some torque! Might have to buy an aftermarket wastegate to lower the psi, not sure when that one opens..

I say go for It! Be prepared to do some customization, but that's gonna happen with ANY turbo build. NOTHING ever just bolts up. :lol: :lol: :lol:
