mr whippy i would be looking at holset turbos , they are proper deisel turbos and are very good and price is also attractive , they supply to mosy commercial veiceles along with garret

to be honest if you just after a little bit more perfomance nothing stupied, agetting your oem manifold flowed is decent upgrade depending how restrictive the oem is .

de-cat is another one

and am sure your stock turbo will take a bit more boost .

you dont realy need to go external wastegate unless u going over 400bhp imo aint realy till you get to that figure you start getting boost creep..

i am a big belive in holset turbos , had a few now , once you figure out how to work the power etc out that they will flow pretty simple .

holset are just deisel turbos , so for example a qouted 500bhp holset will probley flow in the region of about 700on a petrol car .

i have 2 here from a scania truck which are holset turbos and qaulity is as good as uswell

Something like this, these are for ls7 or any lsx for that matter? The Tial is on the underside.



Fit the turbo's onto the front via an elbow or adaptor.

any chance of some basic mesurments need 2 decent size turbos to be able to fit , and as its not going in the chassis it was designed for , could get tight .

i take it there cast or have i got it wrong lol would much prefer cast saves the cracks but they look very sturdy , when you hanging 2 dirty bg turbos on them there bound to break .

you got any pics by any chance of them fitted to a car just so can get ruff gauge where they will sit as new chassis is much narrower

many thanks and sorry to be pain in arse lol
