Re: Turbo 1994 SVX on youtube
Sorry but a turbo "kit" that costs less than $1500 in parts is going up in smoke in 2 passes down the 1/4. I would love to buy a turbo alone for a kit for $1500. you get what you pay for.
Not to mention without larger injectors yada yada yada its going to burn up or run like totaly ass I like people who take the leap but they have not looked before they did and have a lot of back-tracking to do in order to make it half decent. Tom |

Re: Turbo 1994 SVX on youtube
yeah. gonna have to agree with Tom on this one. Poor planning ends up costing a LOT more than doing it right the first time.
but, major props and good luck to them. I want to see some more video of it!

Re: Turbo 1994 SVX on youtube
holy cow. I doubt very much that works. There is way too much weld there, and it is MIG welded. You just cant MIG and up-pipe/header. Its going to crack.
If he did it with 1500 in parts that has got to be a chinese turbo, again they dont work well. I bought one and used a 60 trim wheel and rebuilt the bearing.s\ Also not flex section that I can see. I would highly doubt that it works. Why no video of him driving it? You cannot turbocharge any car properly for 1500 bux unless you get a lot of free parts. Just my 2cents though

Re: Turbo 1994 SVX on youtube
