Last time I checked a turbo was a turbo be it diesel or gas powered engine... so by that token Yes it would work but you would need to size the turbo's accordingly - now for how to do that... That one is beyond my gasp because I don't know the math involved for selecting the correct turbo but I'm sure someone could come up with it.

You could then have dual exhaust + dual turbos. The turbo guru (Huff) stated at one time on the other site that if you ran an electric fuel pump, you could use the manual pump to return the oil from the twins to your sump ensuring adequate flow.

Hmmm, screw the twin turbos. Do a twin engine setup!!

Way back when, I was in classes for the tire chain I worked in. A fellow there told me a story about how he put two turbo 4's in some ricer, since a V8 wouldn't fit... Said it was the fastest thing on the road, and even the cops wouldn't chase him because it was so fast........

I think he was smoking something, and not his car's tires..
