aleros_eat_rice is on a distinguished road
That's why I thought of the Cat turbo. Caterpillar is proven tough, and since they arw designed for use in industial applications, they are made to last.

But I see what you're getting at. The touble is finding a stocck turbo car at a junkyard local to me. They sometimes strip turbos and s/c's off as soon as they come in. I will check it out, though.

They have a Buick Riviera stock s/c, and I checked under the hood. The blower was gone. I asked about it, and they said they pulled it out to sell separately.
