    Anyone running a Martin Turbo kit?

    What's up Wish Masta? I've talked to you on Facebook. What link do you want me to post? They quit making this setup long before links.

    Cool thanks! I noticed some gauges went up to 2500. I'll stick with a 1500 max. Thanks for all this helpful information everyone!

    What kind of EGT should I avoid? Like what's too hot?

    Anyone running a Martin Turbo kit?

    Thanks! In that case I think I'm gonna get a pyrometer, an A/F ratio gauge and a boost gauge and mount them on the pillar before I even install the turbo. I have some very nice dual electric fans that will help with the oil cooler. This water/alcohol injection is very new to me. I'm gonna do...

    I think the flange on it is pretty standard but then again it's the first turbo I've owned. Eventually I want to go with Holley Sniper EFI and an intercooler. That's when I'll be upgrading the turbo unless this one is no good. In that case I'll just remove the turbo and save for the modern blow...

    It turns very freely. Not quite like a ball bearing but smooth and doesn't really stick. Thanks for the oil cooler info. I've always wanted one anyway. The truck stays pretty cool as far as coolant and trans temp but I'm not sure about oil temp. I'll check it out with my infrared temp gun though.

    Anyone running a Martin Turbo kit?

    Thanks! Everything seems to be in working order so I should be ok as long as the oil seal in the turbo is ok. That's wild that the boat ended itself as soon as you got it running right. What about a rebuild on the turbo? Would I be able to get what I need for that? The one I have has maybe 300...

    Almost but I stopped myself. He was probably a professional keyboard warrior without a squarebody, SBC, and no real balls.

    I just had some kid on Facebook tell me to throw away everything but the exhaust manifold. I blame the parents.

    Anyone running a Martin Turbo kit?

    Plus with this kit it shouldn't be a terrible install. I'm thinking it will be on in a day and Thanks for the welcome. I'm new to forums all together and slowly seeing how it works. I was using Facebook for this kinda stuff but what a joke that is. Every group is just full of ignorance and know...

    My exact plan!!! I figured at least this 30nothin is in good working order and it would be a shame to just throw it outback before exploding it. Lol

    Anyone running a Martin Turbo kit?

    The eng The 305 im putting it on has new valve springs, 1:6 roller tip rockers and a larger cam. It was done by the previous owner so for all I know the cam is stock but I'm sure of the springs and rockers. As for the bottom end I'd call it ok with around 100,000 on it. The engine burns a...
