    Turbo

    Does any one know how to make a turbo, or have plans. Im trying to turbo my car but the single turbo would cost me $1,200 for just the turbo(its a big one). thanks

    why not buy a used turbo off of ebay?
    It will take a lot of time and resources to get a good performing turbo from a home made project.

    Thumbs down Making a Turbo?

    Well think this thru...

    You will need to send out both impellors for balancing - Remember turbos turn upwards of 100,000 RPM.

    Finding proper bearings and routing a cool oil supply line to keep them happy...

    Building a single turbo... it can be done... but I doubt you have $15K to $40K for the R&D and multible prototypes it will take to get a workable unit. (this assumes you allready own all the needed machinery and skills to do the job)

    Junkyard, ebay etc - these are the simple and cost effective methods.
