Used banks turbo

[Dezman125]

I have found a 86 6.2 with a banks turbo system that was pulled from a sub.I have never had much to do with these systems.It is about 250 miles from my town.The owner wants a offer on it,wants to get it out of his shop.Can anyone tell me what parts i should looking for when i go to look/buy it.I am mostly interested in the turbo system,the engin was running but was using water,the reason he swaped to gas.
I have the heads off my 90 6.2 right now. Is there anything i can do to the engin to prep it for a turbo?
Thanks

yukon, i almost forgot if engine used water check for signs of it in oil ,just in case . also dont really know of any upgrades with just the heads off ,except maybe injectors,i recently rebuilt a 92 6.2 engine for the truck mentioned earlier and used a high output 6.5 injector in it and the pump off a 93 6.5 eng, [had it rebuilt and turned up a tad] now this thing rocks. also during rebuild installed a timing [gear] did away with chain setup ,[money well spent] might be a idea for you at this time . injectors,gear drive bought from dsg diesel in Canada 306-242-7644. good luck. jim in Texas
