You can either get thr turbos of cars that come with them or scratchbuild your own.

Btw, Welcome, and please read the FAQ, just click on the red link in my sig.:wave:

there was a thread just a few weeks ago about turbos, just do a search and youll find a bunch of help

oh and WELCOME TO AF:dogpile:

Well what is a cheap model that contains a turbo and maybe some other parts i could take?

make your own. just heat up some sprue. be ingenuitive about it. turbo's aren't very complicated looking and are usually not 100% visible. what model are you trying to build a turbo for?

I was looking at some of my racing curbside Tamiya kits and looked at the chassis. I have two supra sard chassis and they each have two turbos. I think I could just rip those out and use them.
I think my KURE skyline has them.
Just a little discovery I made. :sly:

Im doin the turbo for a revell civic hatchback and what is sprue?

I won't tell you but I wonder if you will find out after I give you the clues.

Every kit has them.

They are made out of plastic.











Drum role please.:cwm27:
It is the what the parts of the kit is connected to.

Like the engine part is conected to the sprue.

AKA: parts trees

so bah humbug would you be willing to sell one of those turbos?

you have one of the best references possible.....your car. It says its a turbo so look at that. heat up some plastic tube and bend it to look like your turbo.

Im in the process of doing that right now its just it wont be as detailed as i hoped, plus ive seen a couple of guys on here and other boards that have some turbos that come with the external wastegate and what looks to be some sort of metal exhaust manifold. so if anyone is interested in selling an extra turbo message me!

http://www.racinresins.com/ sells one, look under street racin parts and it is the first one. :smile:
