New member- turbo question November 24, 2012, 05:07:41 PM Hello everyone, I'm looking at purchasing an 86 Cougar RX7 turbo and had a question. The owner said the turbo had been gone through and switched from a 4 blade to 5 blade turbine. I'm not familiar with turbos and have no idea what this will do. I'm assuming its a performance enhancement? Any info would be appreciated! Quote Selected

If the turbo was replaced, ask for the supporting dospoogeentation, if rebuilt, ask for dospoogeentation. Note: Not all T3's are created equal as the A/R varies from model to model. Quote Selected
