LQ4 - To turbo or not...GO

[dag19]

On it Tiny!! I think a turbo will be a fun, new route to go. Never done one before so it will be an interesting ride.

My junkyards are just that...junk! They are of no help, nor do they have anything! So I've been scouring the interwebs to see what's out there and available at a reasonable price. Tough to come by.

I was looking at Caltracs. But they are made for 2.5" leafs and I have 2.25" leafs. The salesman at Caltracs sure seemed to be steering me away from their products, mono spring and Caltrac combo. He was stating that I would have to get a new front hanger and then there wouldn't be much room to mount the Caltracs after that. It is a shortbed, but does that really matter?

Ive seen some good results running a single leaf or split leafs on cars. If you have the skill you can fab up some links to function as caltracs.

Junkyards are definitely hit or miss. Ive had fair luck over the years. I'm currently looking for a 4l80e so I don't have to have mine rebuilt.
