Your basic remote turbo setup

That turbo might come in handy..... If I can swing getting this truck:

It's a 93 VIN M.... I think the turbo motors were VIN K...

Very nice rig....

The VIN M truck will support a turbo of any kind just fine....and man it's a sweet truck. Barney's compound turbo system worked great it was just apparently still too much boost for a stockish motor. It worked great till he added the Moose Pump which then fed it enough fuel to boost 18psi. Even with studs, with a stock motor that turns out to be too much.

where did you mount it? next to tranny?

Yes. If you look under your truck on the passenger side there's a vertical piece of metal that turns the frame into a [] channel. The downpipe went through that passage. The turbo mounted about a foot give or take back from there.

Here' take a look:

That's not necessarily true. The limits on my system were:

1.The mitsubishi turbo up top was prone to clipping of the fins on the compressor side. I would have had to have a custom wheel made that would withstand compressed air hitting it.

2. The head gasket problem. When I tore it down I found several studs that weren't torqued or had lost torque. Others were dripping oil when I pulled them out. I think improper mechanic procedures were followed when it was put together.

3. I think the compound set up was possibly a bottle neck. Even though I had 15 psi to the top and nearly 20 at the motor (which tells me that the sidewinder turbo was making 3-5 psi over the psd turbo). I was always tempted to get rid of the sidewinder and just use the bigger turbo by itself. Now someone can.

Errrrrrr...this was a twin setup? I think, after reading this, that you would probably been fine with just the single that is now for sale. If you are losing only gaining 3 psi, I would think there is a problem. But I am not that familiar with a compound setup.
