If it's possible, and the cost not prohibitive, we could do something outrageous like use a turbo from a turbo-diesel semi. They're probably big, heavy, and inefficient, but if the price is right...
It's possible, but you need to make custom piping, fabricate a manifold (or 2), and worry about clearance issues. Also, you don't need a semi's turbo - it would spool so slow that it would be worthless, and once it got up to speed it would prob blow the headgasket into about 1000 pieces.
Also, you need to change your Avatar - I keep getting you confused with Jack.
