Rotomaster turbo?

Anyone ever heard of such a turbo? Here's what I'm thinking about.

Re: Rotomaster turbo?

Seen these a couple of times on the board.
You need to check on how the exaust gets to the turbo, and how the exaust leaves the turbo.
Don't see how that happeds with the one in the auction.

Re: Rotomaster turbo?

Well Rotomaster is just one of the regular manufacturers of turbochargers such as Garrett, Holset, Rajay, etc. The kit is as you can see from "the turbo shop". If I remember correctly this was a very early and crude looking version but I supposed it works as well as anything else....

Re: Rotomaster turbo?

I asked the guy about it and this is what he said. Kinda confused me a little. Is he saying it works off the exhaust of one bank?

these are all of the pipes to install the turbo,it has one input pipe wich comes up from the botom, and one output pipe, that hooks back to where the other side of the pipe where you will cut your exaust to atach the input. if you have duel exaust on your truck it will need to be joined under the motor if you have this problem let me know, and I will send the exaust crossover off of mine.
