What size turbos came on grand nationals, and would they be a good turbo to put on a tib? I ask because theres a totaled out one in a scrap yard near me. I can grab it FOR FREE before they put it in the crusher, if you all think it would be a good idea.

Grab it why not. It's probably junk with shaftplay and oil leaked out of every orfice though so not much you can do with it.

I believe the GN's had T3 turbo's on them. Should work fine for a low boost set up, but like Tanc said if your pulling one off a car made in the 80's its most likely junk.
