Pius Eberle at Bell Turbo. I have no idea on the specs of that turbo but he is probably the best turbo guy out there. I've never dealt with him because I'm pretty sure all of their stuff is very high dollar but he was one of the guys doing this before it was cool. Google it and you'll see stuff from the early 2000s. His work reminds me of John Russin at Buddha Power. Lots of time and testing put into it but not highly advertised. 8)

Back in the day that turbo was probably three times that and then some, but not knowing the specs of it at all its hard to say if it would be good for you or not.

I think that was the turbo Tom Collins ran on his first gen. His truck flat out ran. I'm sure You'll be happy with the charger.

The USB is a small, but pretty dang strong turbo. Spool up should be awesome, and it'll be hard to hurt it. I think Tom sprayed W/M and nitrous on it.
Pius has been building turbos for 40 years, he's forgotten more than most people know. I have one of his creations for a "someday" project. 106mm :D

Wasn't his charger non gated to boot. Must be a durable charger to handle spray/meth with no gate. :mrgreen:

^^^^ your right. "blueprints for torque". It's actually the only issue I've lost, and it had a bunch of cool basic recipes.
