Turbos on Mopars

Anyone any thoughts, done it, whatever.
I know how they work etc, just wondering, as seems to be the way things are going.
Not heard of or seen any road going or track Mopars over here.
Loads on YouTube in the States

Re: Torqueflite 727

I might be telling granny how to suck eggs here.
Have you checked it running when hot.
Sounds like it's short of oil first thing as it has drained into the sump.
After starting, it's pumped up into the galleries and pressure s up.
Just my 2 Bob's worth.

As I said ,the black looks like an after thought after the gold. Some has "chipped" of with my finger nail and there shiny gold underneath.
