Need Turbo Help
Well I bought a kit that was said to fit a SBC pickup. It is a draw through single turbo kit for a carbed motor. Now I would like to someday use the manifold and possibly the turbo, I need to know how to identify the turbo. Trust me the price was right for the complete kit and everything is brand new. I think it was made by a company called Roto-Master. I'll post some pics when I get the chance.

Wow! 
That has to be one hell of an old setup! Nothing wrong with it, but you may want to replace that old Rotomaster with a Garrett unit. More replacement parts would be available. Call me at work some time and I can check the numbers off your turbo to see what kind of airflow/horsepower it will flow as is...

I've seen that kit before on an old C10 pickup. Pretty cool setup. The guy said he was seeing about 6 psi out of it, with everything stock as it came in the kit.

I know a mechanic that uses it for his daily driver. I spent an hour or so looking at it while waiting for a friends car to be done.
I think it just used the "stock" internal wastegate.
