<VV> NEW 180 TURBO ON EBAY

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

Well, the wheels will fit your old 180 turbo. Which begs the question, 
what's wrong with the turbo you have? They aren't all that tough to 
rebuild, if you're careful. I've done about a dozen turbos, several of 
them Corvair units, all flawlessly. The factory shop manual procedure 
is a good one. Just remember, those blades CANNOT be damaged for this 
to work.

Re: "...So, is this a drop in, bolt in for existing 180?..."

"...I'm  pretty sure  the oil return has to be custom..."  Others have
responded in kind.

Then this non-NOS cartridge is not for  me.  I have a 180 turbo and 
carb in
my 64 Spyder, which still  looks (except for the serial number) stock
(http://rides.webshots.com/album/53163910VSgRLc). And, I'd prefer not 
to
bastardize
this car. I'm starting to get a pretty good puff of  smoke at start up, 
and a
little more under high manifold vacuum  conditions... me "thinks" it's 
time to
rebuild the turbo. This is the only  reason I was considering the new 
non-OEM
cartridge. Thanks to all who responded  with the real "poop."
