Re: [DML] Turbo question

["Donald L. Ekhoff" <ekhoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Max,

I don't have the specific info you need but have also purchased IHI 
turbos on e-bay. The main differences are: ball bearing vs. bushing and 
water cooled. I believe the originals are a bushing bearing design and 
the ball bearings run a little faster. The water cooling feature 
requires some plumbing and probably isn't really necessary for the 
DeLorean as the turbo's get some pretty nice access to fresh air after 
shutdown and therefore are a little less likely to coke up. I am very 
limited for time but these are the things to look for.
