Can you still buy a new C turbo or rebuild one? I have a D and would like to change it to the C for the sound.

So I guess that mean that you can’t get a new one?

New ones are out there but I'd guess around $800 or so. Check with White Owl

I mentioned Ken because when he rebuilds them he gets you flow charts and other cool things I am not smart enough to comprehend.

I can also rebuild and upgrade them with larger more efficient compressor wheels.

I've got a good "D" turbo sitting out here on a motor that came out of Rosie that I'd like to swap for a "C". Because of the popularity of the "C" I would kick in some boot.

RE: Re: RE: C Turbo
Or... Is there a way to get more "whistle" out of a "D" without a lot of modification?

That would be a "C" turbo.

Yup, looks like a C, the way to tell is by the exhaust side. Got a better pic?

Re: RE: C Turbo
more fuel = more boost. but the good thing about the upgraded turbo is you can run more fuel without getting the high egt bc the turbos making cooler air.
cooler in = cooler out.
no. it means more efficient boost. as in cooler discharge temps.houdel said:

I can rebuild you one i have here. A new one is avalable but ain't cheep. You can modify a C for more air flow. And it reallt helps the temps. There is a difference in CFM but you will see very little PSI change. You will notice that it will spool up quicker and give you more power at lower engine RPM"s And it will reduce black smoke along with reducing EGT's.

I sold my almost new D turbo last summer in perfect condition for right around $100 on Ebay. Ken or Jwaller, do you guys have any modifications for a D turbo to get better air flow?

Dj, yes i can do the same mods to the "D" also. In stock form a "d" will move more air on the flow bench than a "C" will. I also polish and remove rough edges from the elbow at the intake manafold. The main reason is to remove turbulance. This will help keep the air cooler and let more in.
