Title: Can't find specs for this turbo........ HELP!
Post by: SMOKEYDUB on October 25, 2005, 05:50:04 pm

I have a extra turbo kicking around and i want to know everything about it. It is off of a 1996 chevy 2500 6.5 l td. The turbo is a Borg - Warner GM-8 and is based on or also is a ihi . So any specs would be greatly appreciated.
