"I found a turbo charger with a holly carb. at a local garage sale, and am trying to find a schematic for it. the whole thing is mounted on an exhaust manifold, but the lines and hoses are just hanging.
this will be me winter project to have it ready for next spring, but I need to know how to hook it all up.

Thanks for the input guys, anyone need a turbo?"
