i was going through my stash and found these ...

 

Not exactly news buddy.

(R)

 

Sweet. This makes me want one

 

where can one find one of these?

 

Rotaryshack has one for something like $1,200, but i think its been there for a few years

 

I got one...brand new turbo set up...ceramic coated everything...bridgeport...only problem is its not in yet and I'm thinking about getting rid of it anyway...but not sure yet...definitly a very nice motor...the only thing I havn't quite figured out yet how to do an fmic setup with it...I think stock from the factory it didn't have and intercooler...but I can't be sure on that...

 

How much you want for it?

 

yeah , i know it isnt "news" hasnt been for ... 20 some odd years lol ^.^ .
there is a really junky looking one i just saw on ebay for 500 dollars

 

There is no intercooler for it from the factory considering the turbo is so tiny and the boost is at about 6 psi, iirc. The temps don't get high enough to need one on stock levels. You would run an intercooler like any other car though. Pipe for compressed air from turbo to intercooler into intake plenum (which would be where it says "turbo" on the orange part.) I'm not sure how much the stock turbo would be good for, but I know I would most certainly want to upgrade from it considering how small it is.

 

yeah , i havnt heard of any 'top perfomers' from these 12a turbos ... we would hear about them more if we did . it would probably be cheaper to get a later 13b turbo . looking at a power/dollar ratio
