ok heres the project and questions as follows:

my friend is selling me a t-70 turbo ( housing from a turbo buick technically ) the turbo is a t-70, with a 76 wheel. exaust side is an 82... (big *** turbo)



i already have an engine that should be able to handle the power. so no problems there.

when the turbo does go in, i plan on going with only 10psi (no need for more, the turbo can flow 1000+hp) i know i will need a new fuel system, an inline pump with new injectiors would probablly be best, as well as new fuel lines and rail.



after speaking with sean about this, i know i will have to have custom piping made, both exaust and intake.



i understand nitrous systems better than most, and can figure out how to have it help out a bit as stated by another with his t-76 project.



besides what i have already said and new ic, larger oil cooler, and lines.....



what else would i need? the turbo itself i am getting very cheap so i can figure a way to afford the rest.

as far as turbo manifolds, does anyone sell a 4 bolt manifold that can support an 82 exaust wheel?

oh yeah, the fd is NOT driven very much, or will not be very much after the break in with the engine i have now. so streetability isnt that great of an issue with me anyways..

i'd say you would need a full custom turbo manifold... basically everything custom

Are you sure 10psi is going to be good enough? I mean, if not wouldn't it be a waste.. when you could just get a smaller turbo.
