Being a newbe to turbo's...I've got lots of questions. I like the idea
of using junk yard turbo's, but I was under the impression that any given
turbo will only flow just so much air and therefor a maximum amount of HP.
So I guess 325 HP out of a T03 sounds like a lot. Are there modifications
that will increase HP numbers? How would one figure the potential HP from
say a Cummins 5.9 diesel turbo?
I have also heard about Trick Flow valve guide problems...only on Chevy
heads...but maybe the Fords are the same. Just bad guide material?
