Hello everyone

Came across this for sale

Was wondering if this was a turbo kit

Attached Image

If so would it be worth it to buy and recondition?

Thanks

MIke

That looks like an early jury rigged heater blower.

Might be worth buying but it’s definitely not a turbo

Thats a heater blower. AKA what pushes heat from your heat exchangers to your cabin.

It is an early heater blower. But, it's not jury rigged - that looks stock, except that the flex hoses a bit too long.

That is a prime example of a one-off custom variable rate, centrifugal, high-amp, low-volt, forced induction system...

To the heater boxes.

Wrong type of hoses and wrong length. Concourse weenies would be very upset.
