Thanks for the work,Dougal. I spoke with one Garrett dealer today. They wanted $800.00 USD, for the GT2052. Another turbo spec shop wanted $650.00USD to build a turbo based on your map. Spendy yes, but, cost of 13BT manifold($400.00 delievered)and turbo(say800.00)=$1200.00. Still a far cry from the $3000.00 plus that ATX and powerglide wants. Q: This Garrett turbo has a round intake(where it bolt up to the exhaust manifold), and the 13BT manifold has a rectangular port. I realize a adapter will have to be fabricated but is there a problem with the two shapes not matching properly? And when i machine a adapter, which shape do i machine too?
