i have the option to get my hands on some GT15's ATM, does anyone know anything about these turbo's, they are off the current SAAB 93 T, i know they can deliver 21psi on overboost and make boost at 1500rpm on the saab 2.3L, apart from cost would they be useless on a 18RGEU,
imagine lifting your bonnet at a car show to show a twin turbo 79 corona

One of them would probably work OK, two would be lag city. Generally speaking twin turbos don't work well on 4-cylinder engines anyway.

yeh i know it'd cost a lot, but how sic would it be, on a normal 2l engine it may be excessively laggy but on a rev happy 18RG it wouldnt be all that bad would it,
wouldnt 1 be way too small, run out of legs in the top end,

yup ... 1 would be way too small - it would hav a short, brutish life being constantly overboosted...
i think you might find the lag (with 2) annoying after a while - but if you mostly ran it as a show/drag car instead of suburban-run-about then maybe you could deal with it?
anyway ... as you've obviously got a contact in the trade to get these at a suitable price ... why not aim for a GT25 - would make you 18RG shine...

well, that's offsets the welding costs of the manifolds for a start ...
