    gm-8 turbo issues

    I'm glad I've found the right place for detroits. I have big plans for a duel turboed 6.2 cucv I've had lying around for awhile. Once I get the remodel finished on the house and I get my monster garage back up and running, I'm sure that this place will be a huge help with that project. I will...

    Backwards turbo question.

    I know over all not so much a good idea with the turbo vac thing. But negitive preasure in the exhaust is not a bad idea. I know of race car builders that try to end their exhaust in an area of low preasue under their car so as to create a suction on the tail pipe.

So I checked it out and found massive play on the shaft. Tore it apart and found more damage then I had hoped for. There was very little wear showing...

    gm-8 turbo issues

    I replaced the bushings and seal rings in it today. There is much less play in the shaft. Can't really tell for sure as i do not have the seal plate or the intake wheel on and tightened down. I think it will work for now. Since there will no longer be wheels grinding into the houseing should I...

    gm-8 turbo issues

    My intake and exauhst vanes have started into the houseing. I know the turbo is junk, but i don't have the money together yet for an ATT. I just happen to have a rebuild kit for a gm-x. My question is, is it worth rebuilding it to hold me over for another month or so? Could it hurt anything? I...
