    Crazy. I assume a lot of the turbos there are functional right? Does that company resell them or something? What's the point of all those rusty, apparently rattle snake infested, piles of turbos?

    What would happen if I put a small exhaust side and mated that with a huge turbo diesel's intake side? Why would that not work?

    the compressor wheel has to match the housing.... therefore youll have a huge wheel as well. think.... somehow spinning an umbrella by blowing onto it through a straw. the small exhaust wheel, and low volume of exhaust from the small engine, wont be able to turn a large wheel like that and when it does turn it itll be of no significant speed. itll just be a bottleneck in the exhaust and your engine will never leave vacuum.

    trust me, if it was going to work.... it would have been done a hundred time over by now.

    the logic youre thinking works though. think t3/t4 hybrid. you just cant go outlandish with it.
