Brad-ManQ45 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Dude: You haven't told anything close to enough information for an answer. What car was it originally designed to be on? If as I suspect it was originally designed to be on a Chrysler 2.2 4 cylinder engine, then it is way too small fora 2.8. You would also have problems mating it to your exhaust manifold. Stick with a T3 or T3/T4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six_Shooter Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I believe you are refering to the BW turbo from the 6.5L Diesel found in the GM trucks. I have that turbo on my L28, and after some slight fitment issues, needed to remove a cast in bump from the exhaust manifold to clear the compressor housing and make a 3/16" spacer to move the turbo away from the exhaust manifold, I was surprised at how well the turbo actually works. It spools up by about 3000 RPM, and seems to work well. I'm currently running 11 PSIG maximum, but have ran it to 14 PSIG. I have the boost down right now due to no intercooler.
