LT1 junkyard turbo advive needed
im wanting to build a junkyard rear mount turbo system for my lt1 and im wondering what vehicles i can pull a turbo out of that will work well with my setup. right now its a bolt-on with 156,000 miles so until i can build up the bottom end with a forged rotating assembly i only want to run 5psi of boost. i was wondering if i could pull a turbo out of a 90s powerstroke since they're easy to find a relatively cheap, would this work? if not what turbo should i use that i could find in a junkyard? Thank you for taking time to help me out.

There's probably no stock turbo that will work well. Turbo's are cheeeeap on ebay. Look for a 60-1, P-trim, T4 housing, and a .68 or .81 A/R housing. I would not recommend a turbo that flows less than 60lb/min of air (600hp capable)!.

Honestly, I'd also prefer to pay a few hundred bucks for a new one than half that for a junkyard one that's used and from another vehicle.
