in Forum: Member Introductions and Stories
Hello, here is my 1981 Yenko Corvette with Yenko installed turbo. I acquired this car in May 2023. Car is documented with Yenko Chevrolet/ SYC paperwork showing in detail the turbo install in September/October of 1981. International turbo installed, the same turbo used on the 1981 Yenko Turbo Z. Don Yenko signature on the front of the international turbo folder as well. Have found and talked to the original owner. Here is the car as I bought it ,in May 2023 as it was invited to The Solid Lifter Showroom display at GM Nationals june 2023. Thanks Ron

Air condition pump was removed by Yenko Mechanic Joe D. In which he installed the international turbo. Turbo is water injected and runs about 6 to 7 pounds of boost and is a single turbo. This is the same turbo Yenko used on the 1981 Yenko Turbo Z.
