Question Possible junkyard turbo use?

im currently searching for a turbocharger to best fit my application (na rotors, quasi 1/2 bridge) for my spare 13b. i dont have alot of money availble to just buy a new garret or play with different types of turbochargers. this is sort of a one shot, deal for what its worth money wise. but im been presusing the idea of trying junkyard turbochargers. obviously not from a volvo. one fine example is a Catapiller dozer. smaller sized one. turbo diesel. the turbo looks like the exhaust side might be useable for a rotary engine. i would need to measure the thing to see what its specifcations are. but i does look promising.

another is a NPR box truck. already considering yanking the intercooler as a friend is running one on his GLH omni and it works wonderfully.

any other model vechiles i should look for? or am i the only poor **** to go this route ever?

and plz...for the love of god...dont tell me to just buy a new turbo for the application...

i need an ar of at least 1.00 and ebay turbos (cheap ones) dont even come lose. a 1/2 bridge with a .85 ar would spool WAY to quick.
