The main thing that I'd worry about would be whether it will spool-up fast enough. Turbo-diesel turbos are usually not made for quick response, since they run at more constant conditions.

Hope it works OK.

That's a huge monster, looks like it could suck that can of spaghetti without ever boosting!

Let us know how it performs
