Sell it to someone with a 745 and get a turbo from this century. Turbo technology has come a long way

It would look great on Ebay or your desk. Total garbage (IMO) if you are looking to enjoy driving the car. You wouldn't go to a computer forum and ask what you should do with a "perfectly good" Intel Core 2 Duo would you? The Core 2 Duo came out in 1998, not 1989 like that turbo.

Think about trying to design the wheels back in 1989 with 2D AutoCAD AND without any 3D CFD modeling or fancy 5 axis, CNC machining available. You are holding the fruits of that archaic time. We haven't even got to the improvement in bearings yet. Name all the reliable 1980s turbo cars. We'll wait.

I agree. The turbo is the easiest part of a custom turbo system to find, and I would use a 1980s tech turbo only if I was on an extremely tight budget and someone gave the old turbo to me and I could not afford anything more modern.
