thay olds is a rocket, no pun intended... but it is blistering fast with what appears to be redneck engineering and street smarts.. good to see that approach working so darn well...

add a t70 and rejet/float your quadrajet.. reference the fuelpump and you should have a turbosetup for less that 1000 bucks

Saw that to. Some were I read that you really need efi for turbos what up with that and why not procharger ?
Be careful with that guy I dont know whos making his sbc manifolds but when i ordered a turbo manifold from him for a 240 sx with a rb25det single turbo motor it didnt fit right :x we had to make it fit and after we finally got it to work ,It started falling apart 3 weeks after the car was done and running.The welds were coming apart and flange for turbo was also falling off.

It is very true that the welds on the SS Autochrome manifolds are very poorly done and will eventually crack, but most people just get the manifold rewelded by a competent welder after it cracks.
I built my own, it was prett easy. I bought 10 u-bends from http://store.racing-solutions.org/ I got the flanges from ebay and the collectors from theturboforums.com. less than $200 in them including v-bands(ebay)
I love it. I just got it running a couple of weeks ago, but so far it's been a blast. I'm definetly not regretting the switch from nitrous.
