ok, i know people have spare turbos. I do not know hardly anything about turbos.. i know enough to know mine is broken. i dont even know what size a conquest turbo has.. or how much boost it produces. mine before it broke was pushing 9 lbs and i would like it to be around 14 or so. if anybody wants to fill me in own some info on turbos please help.. and if anybody has a turbo please help

Our cars come with 12a's as stock turbos. They flow good until about 13-15psi and then they run out of steam. They end up making more heat than pressurized air. Good upgrade turbos are any of the G or C style turbos. Sometimes you may have to modify the exhaust mainifold for the different "footprint" of the turbo, but they flow a hell of a lot better at higher boost levels. Careful though, our headgaskets are not the strongest stock-wise so i wouldn't go over 15psi.

thanks that helps, so in other words dont go over a 14a unless looking to fix head gasket. so i guess my turbo was running like crap if it wasnt even flowing as high as it was supposed to when i bought it, that kinda pisses me off. any way thanks for the info and i still need a turbo, i know plenty of you have one
