i know nothing about turbo’s at all. i’ve been considering turboing my teg when the time comes for my motor build. heres my question: lets just say i aquired a turbo for a completely different application(like a caterpillar front-end loader:flame:), would it work??? just a question… don’t flame the guy that knows nothing about it. it looks small enough to fit, but if one could fabricate a manifold to fit and all the other piping… seriously, would it work??

steal the exhaust to turbo flange too, as that will need to be welded to a b series manifold.

you would need the turbo specs for us to give you a good answer. sure it’ll work, but how good? the turbo might be way to huge to even spool.
