made this...turbo is from a ford powerstroke truck. so it had some wierd pedestal that has feed and return on the same side.



turbo is pretty nice. has a 1.10ar front and a 1.15 rear. but theres a factory replacement exhaust housing i picked up for $149 bran spanking new that makes it a .84 rear!!!

Return has to be a minimum of -12 for a journal bearing turbo. Since you can fabricate yourself you should look into making hardlines instead of using rubber braided hose.
