You need to have a custom plenum (think like a Draw-through turbo set up style) to go to a heating chamber then it is fed into the turbo, the turbo and intake manifold must be completely sorrounded by the exhaust manifolds, in the manifold the heat from the exhaust causes the A/F mixture to expand. Then it is forced into the cylinders, it wont detonate because the fuel would be too mixed or something do to so. Your major problem is oil cooling. I beleive you are going to want to use fully synthetic 20W-50 and use a pretty large oil cooler. Also, the expansion chamber after the carb and before the turbine is supposed to be sorounded by a water jacket to heat it up.

It turns fine but it has a little bit of noise to it...not like a grinding...just like its sat on the shelf for a few years and not ben turned. rebuild kits arent too pricey on ebay...all they are are a few bushings and snap rings.
The oil tubes are not with it but its got everything you need to bolt it to a manifold...including a BO valve...but it needs modded to fit....it was off of a different setup.
Its a great turbo for small motor, it will build boost very fast, but wont like high rpms(above 5k) on a motor larger than a 2 liter....I reckon youd be at full boost by 1800 rpm. I was going to use it to turbocharge my chevette but the vette got towed by the city...
So the turbo is just taking upspace.
But the problem with it all is that its in my dads shed and he lives about 200 miles away from me...so youd have to wait till I went down to visit my folks. Probably about a month.
Id gladly trade for some other cool speed parts...or just make me an offer...Im not too attached to it so I dont have those high dollar fond feelings.
I am looking for a rebuild kit for a Saginaw, a torque arm mount bracket (clamshell type), and a pair of small air cleaners that will fit a dual quad intake.
