theres a guy here, cant remember the name of the shop but I did the drawings for his building.. anyway, he builds turbos for diesels, even has some patents on some of his parts. He has a Chev. 4x4 pushing 1000lbs out the wheels and about 450hp. Aparrently according to this guy and others Ive heard using diesel turbos on gas engines is common, perform better and last longer. I cant imagine there would be much more complication adding the turbo to a diesel...
All I could picture when the D4D came up was a Yaris pushing like 150hp and 500lbs/ft.
