found a twin turbo setup for sale last night

I was at a buddys house. His cousin bought a boat with a 460 in it with a twin turbo setup on it. He wants to get rid of the turbos. I looked at them a bit and they said "M&W" on them. The turbos looked really new and were hooked to marine 460 headers. The guy didnt know for sure, but he said he thought they only made like 5psi of boost or someting like that.

If its making 5psi on a 460, wouldnt it make a bit more on a 350? Is this stuff worth buying if I can get it for a reasonable price? What would be reasonable?

Duhr, hab ye traid to bolt dem suckers up? I dont tink it will werk. Just like we tried to put a camshaft ferm a 460 in my 84 Berlinetta wit a 2.8 V6 once. it just aint goin in der man. It stick out da front.

I bet da same ting happen to you wit dose turbos. dey stick out da front two fer.



Cmon dude! They arent going to bolt up. The only valuable thing from it is going to be the turbos themselves.

Yeah thats the deal...Obviously a big block ford header is not going to fit a small block chevy motor. I was just wanting to see if anyone had heard of these turbos and if they are worth a damn. I think I might be able to pick the turbos up pretty cheap and I am thinking about going ahead and getting them. What do you think?? Are these turbos worth a ****?

Find the manufactor's site and find the specs. Then goto a turbo site and look them up.. I would be interested in one if it could support a 300-400 HP application. Email me with info.
