turbo??? agian

Is there any kind of turbo that I can get out of a junkyard that will work?
I read here that a 16g is to small what is big enough?
I wanted to boost the power from stock with a small turbo just for fun.
I thought i could get a cheap turbo, was i wroung?

A single 16G is way too small for a 350, but you could get away with two.

For more information on sizing and everything else click on the "Turbo Stuff" sticky at the top of the forum.

It seems many people are confused about turbos. So many people think that because they only want a little power, they only need a little turbo. They don't understand the science of it.

I suggest these books if you are serious about turbosharging:

1) Turbochargers by Hugh MacInnes

2) Maximum Boost by Corky Bell

I don't know how I could have done my own turbo projects without them.
