Even if you could, there are a bunch of missing things..bolts, hoses etc. It would be a project.

Well of course custom manifold and running vaccume lines. Would a marine intake be needed? I assume so...Don't mind throwing down money for this with another 2 grand laying around for extra stuff for the install.

I'm not a turbo expert by any means, and it sounds like the guy selling them isn't either. I'd want to know part numbers and call the manuf. myself for information. The problem with turbos is spool time, especially with these heavy ass trucks. I've been reading that some guys are using smaller turbos combined with a larger one to get the quicker spool and retain the same big turbo benefits. Just FYI

I know FI to an extent I use to own a fully built DSM!

Twin Turbos= Double the headaches thats why most Twin Turbo F/I cars like the stealth, vr4, supra, 350z who are all making serious power all switch to a big single turbo.

As far as drag racing wise thats why there is always a shot of nitrious (to get to those high rpms for the turbo spool and a two step.

Our vechiles are heavy. This install wouldn't be drag racing....I think LOL. Just drive enjoy...hear all the bells and whistles (which I miss the most), mash the peddle, turb her sideways down the block with tire marks in my path.

The banks turbo setup for the Mercruiser is perfect for that application, but would be almost imposible to adapt for automotive use.

The water jacketed turbo’s are expected to have access to the same cooling water, the marine exhaust manifolds are using.

I have watched a lot of guys build up turbo systems from scratch, and the most difficult issue seems to be making sure the correct fuel mixture is attained.

A blow through carb is often the easiest way, but not the best. Stock computers seem to have trouble with multiple bar MAP sensors. There are several good stand alone computers for controlling FI engines.

I noticed that Nelson Racing uses Electromotive Tec3 computers.

Turbo’s are supposed to be sized for your displacement. The only difference between twins or single, would be spooling time and plumbing.

My experience has been, the half second boog waiting for the turbo is quickly forgotten as you catch up to and pass, whoever got the jump on you. Lol
