  1. well first things first, if you are putting a turbo on a V engine it is probably best to put two turbos on it so that both banks have the same exhaust restriction

    now having said that, i think kustommodels has build a few turbos so he might be able to help you better

    but i would say, just google turbo and go from there

    i think solder would work best

    and keep im mind that in order to run, say 20 PSI you need a intercooler in between the turbo and the intake manifold

    Thanks man, that helps. I'll ask to him.

  2. Heys guys! I bought a 78 firebird 3n'1 kit. One of the options is to turn the firebird into a dragster by adding large drag tires and put an high rise intake on the engine. But i want to to something a little bit more stylish and more powerful so I want to do my own twin turbo kit. Only problem: I don't know how to build a turbo. I don't know what materials to use for the turbo plumbing and the turbo itself. Someone can help me? Thanks.

    EDIT: By the way, the car is not fuel injected! It uses two carburators, one below each air intake (duh). I dunno how to do the plumbing on carburated engines. Do the both turbos blow into a single tube and then into the carburators?

  3. I'm with Harry on this! I have not had a bad paint job since I've been using Duplicolor, straight out of the can as I don't have an airbrush.

    I started to use duplicolor laquers and I think its the best paint. Better than testors!
