Default Re: Better turbo design

Awesome info. Last part of my 78 LeSabre SC rebuild is the turbo setup. Put the motor back together, found one of those hard to find quadrajets...brand new ordered thru the local auto parts house, and even put new tires on it....just need to do the turbo. I ordered a kit for the stock turbo, with the bearings and such....doesn't look too intimidating but I've never worked on them. Pretty handy with most other stuff so I figured maybe I'd try this turbo rebuild. Need to source parts, I have the original turbos from both the 78 LeSabre and the 86 GN. Was thinking about spending the money and getting a new turbo for the 86 so I can cobble parts from the two I have. Will follow up and probably ask a few hundred questions.
