Default Turbo fox

well fellas and ladies thinking of doing a rear mount turbo on the fox
looking for some help on which turbo to look into might have my hands on a old GN turbo i think it will be sufficient not real sure but i think i'll have my hands full of tig welder and piping just curious if any one has done this or has a good junkyard turbo biuld they could help me with
i already have 36 pounder's and an diablo tune fresh motor as well the onl thing is it's 10 -2-1 so low boost like 6psi i would guess
help is appreciated

The GN turbos are a little small also....they put them on 3.8L and they aren't even big enough for them.

Don't do rear mount, you'll regret it. And if you're going to use junkyard turbos find something bigger or use two of the GN turbos.
