Anybody have a list of vehicles on which i can find a turbo that will work fine with a 5.0, im being drug into a custom 5.0 turbo project and im looking for a list, were wanting a single turbo that can supply around 10psi and the exhaust housing wont get overwelmed at 6K, anybody got some info for me? Id really appreciate.

Just a list of turbo'd vehicles that will supply enough air for a 5.0...

thanks.

Ive found one in the paper for $20, its a T2 off of a 2.2 Dodge Daytona, it says its in great shape, no shaft play, im still a little weary, i mean you get what you pay for, but just cuious, do any of you guys think that is big enough? I dont want my exhaust to get choked up in the exhaust housing.

will

too small to do any good, there is a guy on Turbomustangs forum that has a turbo off of an 02 dodge cummins. He bolted it up and only got 11 psi

Its going to need to be a turbo off a much bigger engine than 2.2L. Im betting the only turbos that will fit are going to be from trucks. Good Luck

Seems like a lot of folks use the ones off Mercury Mekurs.

yeah the merkur use the t3 turbo just like the svo but u need two of them. now the guys upgrade junkyard style is the holset off a dodge diesel but u will need two also. so figure if a turbo is on a 2.3-2.5 gas engine and u got a 5.0 u need two

Right now im looking at a Turbonetics T3, its plenty big enough for a single set up, but a twin wouldnt be all to bad either. Im in no hurry, i was going to get some Flowtech shorties and flip them upside down and make my own flange, etc. Then get a used intercooler and run the piping for that around the front of the car.

But one question, i guess this should be in pipes,boost and juice, but ill ask here to. Should i run both of the exhaust through the T3, or just the left or right through it, i want it mounted on the passenger side. But im wondering if i throw both sides of exhaust on it, its going to choke it up, and its going to restrict exhaust flow and ill have to get a bigger exhaust housing for it. Thats of course, if i go with a single set up, id rather go with single, for simplicity.

the t3 is probably gonna be to small and both pipes need to go through it

Im not a turbo expert or anything, but dont you need ALL of the exhaust to run thru the turbo? I dont know of V style motor w/ turbo that only has one side of the exhaust powering the turbo. Again, i could be wrong. I wouldnt mind doing a turbo setup mine, but I'd want all 8 cylinders powering mine..

I'm pretty dam sure you cannot run only half of you exhaust through a turbo thats providing boost to all of you engine... not sure but I belive it will not run correctly ucs exhaust restriction wont be even at all. All turbo kits I have seen tie in both exhaust headers, pretty sure its must on a V8.
