Re: largest turbo question

I have a T76 without removing the A/C, but I did have to use a spacer.

You can see the clearance.

No spacers? I was thinking of doing this turbo on the built motor i have started but wasnt sure if it would clear. DO you have any more specs on the turbo?

How do you like the T76 turbo? Turbonetics?
Have you run it at a track?
Sure is a tight fit!

Robert had a GT45R on there without removing the A/C, but I don't think it was stock location.

What stall convertor you use with a PT76?

I like it, but it's on stock motor, haven't run at the track. It's pretty laggy with a stock stall, but being a ball bearing turbo, it's not as bad as you would think.

Probably will never know what it's like as a V6 being that I'm upgrading to a 3rd Gen V8, either a 5.3 or 6.0L and putting that turbo on it (with an exhaust housing swap of course).

Stock manifolds with a spacer provided by Nolan (the one who sold me the turbo)

You can see it here:

It's stock.........wanted to get the conversion done before I tackled the motor, but then decided to make a change to an LSx motor with the turbo, so I'm sitting on the truck for a while.

Re: largest turbo question

PPI, what downpipe did you use? Did it cause any other clearance issues with that small spacer?

I had a local fabricator make it for me. No other clearance issues really. It all fell into place for me.

It's very close to the type from Mike over at RPM...........and honestly if I were to do it over, I'd buy it from Mike instead.
