Talking Big Turbo

anybody thought of putting a big rig turbo on their FD. Im thinkin bout taking one off some ole logging truck and installing it on the FD. Heck I'll proally be running 30lbs of boost min. Just think of the POWER! J/K though bout me doing that, but wouldnt it be awesome!

ugh, due to the size issue and the lack of space...I feel it's nearly impossible. The stock turbo almost hits the frame as it is down there. I guess you could fab something to work, but......

I don't think it would ever spool. This would be a great topic.. in the single turbo section I would think.

People have actually used diesel turbos on rotaries. But, big turbo does not equal big power, BTW....
