went to the long beach swap meet this weekend and a dude had a gale banks twin turbo setup complete with the manifolds, risers, turbos, intercooler, piping, carb and scoop. at first glance i noticed a LOT of white dust and general corrosion inside of the manifolds. im guessing they had a leak somewhere and they just ran it like that. couldve been the manifolds themselves, couldve been the passage from the manifold to riser, riser to turbo, etc... who knows. i didnt have any way to test them. anyways i ask the dude what he wanted and he spouted out "$1k"... i was pretty interested but the corrosion and possible leaks made me think twice. As I said thanks and walked away he started yelling out $800, $750... my guess is that he doesnt really know what he has and trying to offload it quickly. All I know is that these full kits are rare and usually worth some decent coin.
Maybe next week he'll be there again and I can look into it more... looking back i didnt get his contact info. DOH!
everything looked the same as this setup:

Well if you show up next week, you will be the only one there. You're gonna have to wait until next moth and take a chance. I also looked at it. It seemed to be fairly complete. Just didn't have that kind of scratch on me.

Almost looks as nice as my old set up....that I sold for not much more than that ....
With a turbo cam.
The key to those is they make gobs of torque and decent horse power which is good if you are turning a big prop.
