Today I ordered my hot pipes. I have a BOV already, and an vortech FMU also.

I also have a IHI turbo from an izuzu(I will have to make an adapter to mate it to the hot pipes I think......

EDIT: This turbo is a VI-55 IHI turbo. are the housings going to give me grief?

Will this turbo work for me? anyone have any idea as to the specs? I think that it came off an impulse or something like that.

what else will I need to get this thing turboed?

thanks

ps, I am only running the K8 for now, until I blow it up, then it's KL time!

also, how much boost can I run on the K8 safely on the street with 92 gas?

that looks like a really small turbo.

ya, it is small, but it is the only one I have for now.

at least it will spool up quick ;)

I am getting a garrett t3 later from a friend, but for now I would like to use this one.

Does anyone know where I might get an adapter plate for this?

thanks
