So I've been thinking about how sweet it would be to put a HE351VE or a 6.0 turbo on an IDI. Even if we weren't making crazy high HP numbers, the ability to get boost that fast would make any IDI truck perform quite a bit better in all situations and even improve MPG. I know that there are electronic controllers made for these things but I doubt they would be cheap So I started searching around and I came across these related threads:

This guy is using a homemade pneumatic actuator for the HE, and there are others on Compd using similar setups.
I'm wondering, how hard would one of these homemade actuators be to make? I know that if someone acutally did this they'd have to fab up most everything themselves but that wouldn't be too bad. Also, which on of these turbos would be the most efficient for an IDI with supporting modifications boosting into the mid 20's? I love the 6.0 whistle, but HE's seem to be available for allot less money. Could one of these be a good match for our engines? I'm sorry, but I don't know much about compressor maps and such. Discuss at length, and thanks for any info!
