It can be done. It has been done. The MAIN reason most people don't is......
The extra pressures in the combustion chambers on an engine that comes factory with 9.2:1 compression ratio (vs. 8.0:1 in turbo engine) will cause BHG quicker than it should. I suppose it may last a while if you keep the boost down to about 5psi.....but why spend all the time & $$$ for a not much faster motor. You really need larger injectors too.

Is it a good idea?
There's a diesel bus turbo laying around at the shop with a t4 flange, Its about the size of a gt45r turbo from a garrett, should I do it?
