[DeTomaso] supercharger question

[Ken Green]

I've been told there are a lot of junk turbos out there that are advertised as GT35R turbos.  The real thing retails for about $1,200 each.  If they are a lot less than that, there may be a reason.  Some of the language is also deceiving, so read the description very carefully.

* noticed quite a few roller bearing turbos on ebay at what seemed like very
reasonable prices. I don't know enough about the rest of the plumbing to
know what else you need and how to tie it in to the exhaust and the carb or
fuel injection and waste gate or inter coolers* plus there were all sorts of
different sizes so I would have to know how to choose the correct turbo to
use. Y\With all the extra room at the back of the engine it would seem like
a more practical configuration then a rotary compressor on top of the motor
of a centrifugal compressor run from the front of the engine..
