Hey,
I would really like to know if it is possible to get a truck turbo, and manipulate it to bolt onto a car engine inplace of a normal turbo, I have told my mates that one day I will do this, and I plan to follow through with it, I would just like to know if I am wasting my time or if it is possible? I just think it would sound so sik, all you would be able to hear would be the turbo spinning, and it would even drown out the engine,(I hope)
And yeah, anyone that can advise me on this thanks very much!

ummm ... well you can try, but not worth the effort- the turbines/housing are designed to suit the motor ... trucks engines have very different exhaust/intake gas flow & requirements than petrol - expect it to not work well and eventually kill your motor.
also turbo sound will not drown out engein unless bearings fail and the compressor tries to machine the inside of the housing.
... i thinks you'll be wasting time & money - if you have to, just lie to your mates..
