Turbo hooked up.
Finished hooking the turbo up, and all I have to say about it right now is............IT SUCKS!


At idle I could feel NO air at all coming out of it.



I'm not going to give up on it yet though, I know the crossover pipe has some leaks in it, and I'll try turning up the fuel a bit.

After that I hope it comes to life.

And it did have a nice little turbo whistle to it

The turbo is a Rotomaster HI-Flo A/R85

One good thing though, with the manifold the way it is, that sucker spools fast!


And I did make a vid of it......but I don't know how to get it off my camera
