Some people wanted to see some pictures. These were taken with my friend's digital camera. I have some better shots, but they're on film.

This is the turbo and manifold together. KOOKS in NY made the manifold from 321 SS. The engine flange is a Racing Beat header flange--mostly used to save me money.

It's a Garrett T-76, .60 A/R compressor, 1.08 A/R exhaust. It was SUPPOSED to be for a future 3 rotor project, but I couldn't wait. So I'm going to try it on a 13B. I may have to go with a .81 exhaust housing, but either way I'll get it to spool. It's definitely good for more power than the motor will handle.
