Sweet. I'd be interested in seeing how that spools given those specs are almost identical to the GM8 and I have a DOHC ZC as well.

those specs are nothing like the specs the other guy gave for the gm diesel turbos....they have smaller turbines than compressors...

Re: big ole turbo. any thoughts?
 

Yeah. Don't know what I was thinking.

I still think this is a really bad idea for a car that's not going to live on a drag strip. heh. ;)

Either way it oughta be interesting as hell!
