bad turbo need a new one

[brad horton]

my turbo has gone bad on my 1985 dodge shelby charger. I need one i dont care if it is used. What kind of turbo should i use? does any one have one for sale?

[Gutfeeling]

What turbo do you currently have installed on the engine?

[crazymadbastard]

It should be a garret T1 log car. You could try to rebuild the one you got.

[brad horton]

the stock turbo where can i get a rebuilt one? I know advance auto parts does not carry them i was shocked.

[crazymadbastard]

Check with ******************** and fwdperformance.com they should have them in stock for $300

Won't fit- the cover is different and its too much for your car unless you convert it to a t2 and intercool it, that would require a new intake manifold injectors, bigger exhaust, computer probably fuel pump too-etc.
You can buy a rebuild kit for $80 from gpopshop.com and have at it yourself.

Stay away from New ebay turbos, from what I have seen they are chinese crap.

well i was going to go t-2 soon but if you think the stock turbo is the best bang for the buck ill take your word for it

[brad horton]

so do think this one would be the right choice for my car:turbos
should i add the quick spool?
