It's too small. You need the turbo on the right:

Yeah, thats what I was suggesting to my g/f...probably not an airplane, but most likely a large cruise boat or maybe even an aircraft carrier....

Hmm, the custom Y2K turbo I saw on Carlos Gonzalez's drag car looked a decent bit bigger than that....

Looks like a T88......not the Greddy. Almost looks like a Precision turbo. Which one is it?

those turbos are from cruise ships, they're actually pretty small

you should look for pics from an oil tanker we're talking 20-30FT high

I have an account setup with them and hang out with them when they come to town. I also have a PT88 sitting around for something down the road I don't have any experience with the PT88 on a rotary as of right now.

On a 4 cam Cobra motor it's a real beast but that doesn't help you does it
