Got my k-jet updated. 140-160 1974

That's it... Next time I go to see my uncle, I'll get the truck turbo I got for free. (It's huge, about 4inch inlet used on a v12 tow-truck, maybe I ought to get something smaller, but hey, it's free.) And I'll fiddle with it, hook a lawn-mover engine to it and measure how much air it will push out. To my understanding, those big turbos spin at much lower rpms than those tiny things because of the large compressor blades. This should be done in a bit over a month, I'll post reports once it's done.
But if it really works out, I may have to find a new hood for my Volvo, as I'll have to put a hole in it to mount this huge thing over the valve cover.
This is going to be fun!
